[QUOTE="KDM, post: 337985, member: 314"] I have fished the Sheyenne river THOUSANDS of times and there are tons of good walleye spots to be found that are well suited to a kayak. However, flowing water WILL KILL YOU if you make a mistake and dump a kayak into cold moving water. A couple years back we lost two men in a canoe while they were hunting spring beavers. I would recommend you get some experience in small ponds and lakes BEFORE heading out on the Sheyenne or any other river. Once you get some experience there, I would start with the buffalo river first as a beginner river. It tends to be more shallow than the maple, Sheyenne, and certainly the red. [COLOR=#ff0000][I][U][B]WHEN[/B][/U][/I][/COLOR] you dump the keyak, the buffalo should allow you to stand up and get yourself situated again. There are also lots of snags in the buffalo where you can practice going around obstacles in current. As always wear a good quality life jacket. I prefer the inflatable type as paddling with a vest style can and will give you blisters in your arm pits and inner biceps. NOT FUN!! Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
