^^^ very true. The guide boats are skinny water hot rods. Nothing will replace time & experience navigating this tributary. The depth finder shortens the learning curve of knowing where the channel runs. On the curves & turns of the river, stay on the outside. Being able to "read the water" is crucial. A good anchor is a must as well. Anchoring up on a riffle that holds feeding fish is crucial when all other tactics fall short. The most critical piece of gear is good life vests. The water is constantly moving and it's freezing cold. Their is ALOT of traffic all day on river from all the backhaul and tours. Those boats are usually hauling A$$. Leaving big wakes and waves. If you fall in it will take your breath away and your boat is not going to stop. I know from experience. I've fallen in a time or two. No need to be afraid, just be smart.

As much HP as your boat will allow. You'll never regret it especially for the mid day current flows. A strong trolling motor as well. It'll keep you in fishable waters easier when drifting and avoiding shallow boulders. A couple aluminum props. You will ruin your motor if you run a ground with a stainless prop eventhough you get alot better performance out of stainless. A Bimini top will keep you out of the sun. It can be brutally hot up there. Learn the river. Follow the guide boats up. They stay in the channel and know the river best. A depth finder on you console helps alot.
