Classic Rowboat Fishing, Quiet and effective
Sport fishing using quiet seaworthy classic rowboats is growing in popularity. Fishing for the mighty Chinook or Spring salmon has always been popular in the waters around Campbell River on Vancouver Island. A guide at the oars slowly working the boat through the tidal currents a guest or two seated aft all anticipating a strike any second. Senses sharp and tuned with every sound clearly audible even the water drops dripping off the oars. This is fishing!
Whitehall Rowing & Sail builds an exquisite fishing rowboat called the Tyee Spirit 14 featuring a lapstrake style fiberglass hull and solid teak woodwork. These boats are now being used for muskie fishing in Wisconsin where the use of outboards is prohibited. With enough stability to stand while fly fishing the Tyee Spirit offers diverse fishing possibilities. To top it off options available include a sailing rig setup or even sliding seat sculling gear for exercise rowing. This is one versatile rowboat.
The base price is $5928. ----- 1 800 663 7481: www.whitehallrow.com
