    Went for a float down the Saugeen river with a buddy. The fishing was just OK, all dink trout. However we did ha ve some fun running some old dams:





    I had the honour of being the guinea pig for the Traux dam:



    Shaun was not so lucky:



    Man, I love these pontoons, they are a blast!

    Looks like a fun day, till the last one rolled over. Hope he kept all his tackle and wasn't hurt.

    That does look like fun. Did the guy who flipped lose any equipment?

    There's a good lesson there about keeping your boat straight while running rapids. Doesn't look like sideways works very well.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    Big plus I noticed in that rollover.. . didn't see any rods sticking straight up in a rod holder.. that coulda been a crappy way to snap a rod! and ruin an otherwise fun ride... Do let us know that your friend is ok! tis why one should always if in moving water, Toon,yak,canoe or even wade... With a friend!
    Wish ya great fishing,Bill

    The flip over probably could have been avoided with some back stroking on the oars to keep the toon straight and entering the plunge pool a little slower.
