      I prefer the action on the 8'6" (8-12) better but the 9' will be used primarily down in the Niagara, Geen and maybe out west.

    4. BillM

      BillM

      Mines a 12-20, great for chinnies a but much for steel. I'll look into that 8-12.

      Wayne, it was a dead head. I'm surprised it messed up the prop so badly, almost tore one of the fins completely off.

      Well the BZ was fantastic for me, how about you? 10 for 15 in the am and 7 for 9 in the pm Plus a couple skinny water kings. :-)

       

    4. BillM

      BillM

      Hit the BZ at around 3 out of Frenchmans. Put 6 steelhead in the boat, bigest close to 15! Went in close once the sun started to set put 3 big chinooks in the boat all on dipsys SD/fly combos. South wind kinda screwed our plans for casting, water was way to warm only a few fish in the shallows.

  16. Looking for a 14-15ft tinny for the oldman, electric start, deep V and stable. Let me know!
