RMR Storm Nice little river raft

[Engorgeous George 1,216]

I just ordered an RMR Storm with a rowing platform so I can run it with paddles or oars.  Looking forward to running a few rivers in Montana this summer along with Colorado.  Should be a nice addition to my Ascend, my Kokopeli, and my Jackson.  I think I have all of my different uses covered now.

As someone that will spend money on some of the dumbest shiit you can think of I can’t fathom paying $1300 for a focking backrest in my boat

I have rafted most of the major rivers in southern Montana. Some good fishing to be had, although I have heard that the fishing near Bozeman has fallen off due to greatly increased fishing pressure.

 

The Shoshone, Clark's fork, or wind river in Wyoming are better fishing than anything in Montana.

If you want to run some whitewater, camp overnight, and do a slight bit of fishing while you do you just might.  Will be hitting the Blackfoot, Yellowstone and Gallentine in this.  Also the Colorado, Poudre, and Arkansas both with the oar system and with paddles.

But I have never been in the water in Montana, so there is that.  Wyoming I get to as I own property in Story.  I intend to hit idaho next year along with a return to Bella Coola.

Going with buddies? 

My dad lives in Parker and is looking for a fishing buddy. He knows the story area quite well and can get on private water. We know quite a few land owners in the buffalo/Sheridan area. 

Send a pm if you want me to pass along your details to him.

Sounds awesome though for sure.

Generally go with my brother or college friends.  This year I am planning a shakedown float down the Colorado, then the Poudre before going to run the Gallatin solo for three days.  After that who knows.  The shakedown floats will be with my brother as we have run lots of water together. 

 

I do like the private water thing.  Trout guys are protective of the best waters.

Just keeping busy in retirement.  Otherwise I might have to talk with my wife.
