[quote TyeDyeTwins]Great work and pics. You give me encouragement to be tooning soon! But as much as you dislike hiking to get to the fish I dislike paddling to the fish.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]That's why I rigged my tube with an electric motor. I can make it all the way down to the bubbleup from Lindon with fin power alone. But with the motor it is a lot faster and easier. Once I am where I want to fish I use the fins to keep myself in position...hands free. No biggie. And if the breeze kicks up I really like being able to use the motor to get back to the vehicle.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In my younger days I did plenty of hiking. I have hiked the full length of the John Muir Trail in the Sierras and have covered lotsa miles of trails in several states. But I definitely follow the advice of Dirty Harry..."A man should know his limitations."[/#0000ff]
