[QUOTE="KDM, post: 158432, member: 314"] As a new boat owner and looking to fish rivers, I would take a couple days and run your boat in the tailrace to get a feel for how your boat handles current. The race will have several different speeds of current with few underwater hazards. The boat landing also doesn't have a large amount of side current like most other river landings. Loading a boat in current is it's own special skill that must be mastered. It's not only and experience thing, but a safety thing. When things go bad, you will NEED to know what your boat will and won't do. Congratulations on owning your own "recreational money pit" or B. O. A. T. (Break out another thousand) and Good Luck!!!
