The ping pong ping style Curtis raft paddles are my favorite after trying several others. Kayak paddles are a bit inconvenient for fishing.
The Klymit LiteWater Dinghy is fairly inexpensive. Got a few on sale off Amazon. Pretty rugged so far. I’ve drug it over rocks and through alder brush and it’s not needed a patch yet. A 2 person raft would be expensive andheavier.
Hey folks, I met Jim on the Tenas creek trail to Boulder and Pear lakes. He told me he had just stocked Pear lake and about what the Trailblazers do, the mission and focus. I had been up at the lakes the weekend before and there was a apparently a very thick may fly hatch and the fish were fat and happy on the bottom. Me and a buddy hiked up to Pear in the rain and pulled a couple nice rainbow out of there but not much action despite spotting some large fish. Hard fighters.
The weekend after was the hike i ran into Jim when he stocked Pear lake. The fishing was excellent but i was pulling in mostly larger and juvenile rainbow from Boulder lake below. Seems like the cutthroat have been fished out or hiding since July. There was a new fire near Glacier peak and the smoke rolled in thick the next morning and we had to hike out the air quality was so bad.
I was at the last meeting, new prospect sat in the back called the raffle drawing. I was impressed with the work you all do and would like to volunteer if anybody needs assistance stocking lakes. I’m a strong hiker, not a quitter, respectful and very interested to learn and flexible. I didn’t realize you all existed and that there is such a short window to get the work done. Please let me know if i can be of service.Mike
