The NEW BOAT!

2012 Clacka Eddy




The new boat is sweet.  Been out a few times over the last few weeks and love the way in tracks on the water.  Clackacraft is leading the industry in drift boats.  The new Eddy model is a great combo of the 16 LP and a Skiff.  The boat rows and moves on the water with little effot, offers plenty of room for both rower and fisherman and their gear.  The Eddy also holds in currents that other models and makes would not be able to hold in as easily.  A few fishing guides went fishing a few days ago in the boat, and we all agreed that the Eddy is a solid boat, built for a serious fly fishing addict that is looking for one of the best boats on the market.  We were all impressed with the boats ability to back row runs bank hop quickly, making the job of the guide or rower much easier.  Long days rowing is a broken record for fishing guides and the EDDY, simply put, makes your job easier.  The Eddy holds up the Clacka reputation and offers a few modifications to fit the needs of individual fishermen.  I am a fan of the single front box instead of the mega box, because it just makes more sense for the fishing trips I take.  The Eddy has plenty of storgae space for day trips and three fisherman.  The Boat is great and anyone looking to buy a new drift boat should take a serious look at the EDDY!

The Summer weather is here in Western Wyoming.  Since the release of school, I have been able to fit in a few fishing trips.  A few walk/wades and a few floats with a good friend Tim Scott.  We have been fishing a little of everything on both the main rivers in our area and small streams.  I actually made a trip over to fish the Salt River in Star Valley this weekend and that river is fishing really well.  Golden Stones are coming off mid-day and fish are looking up!    Just picked up my new Clacka Eddy this weekend as well and can't wait to put the first fish in the new BOAT. 

 A 22 inch brown the was sun bathing mid-day from the cold, dark winter months.

Another solid brown from the early june fishing trips. The fishing looks to be troubled this summer due to water levels.  July may bring low low water and make sections non-floatable in a drift boat.  We are praying that our water levels hold for a few weeks.
