Well thought out set up! I'm in northern CA and can remember the first drift boat I ever saw. Someone from Oregon brought a homemade one down to fish the Eel River. We all didn't think much of them at the time, but when we saw how effective they were, well you know the rest of the story. Tight lines Bad Ash!

I've always found it good luck to have a great dog on the boat! Pretty, and smart ladies are helpful too. But, Oly clearly knows his place and knows when to bark when he hears "fish on!" and the net comes out! Good boy Oly.

That dog is awesome I love how it loads up in the boat like that. Mine won't even get close to it

I needed some ideas for my set up. Thanks!

Nice seats and everything !

Great video! Oly wants to go fishing!

Drift boat. 18 1/2 fish was still here, salmon on the rogue river Charlton Bay is good crabbing with a drift boat and big salmon 11:24 11:24

I enjoyed your commentary. Well done!

Looking for a drift boat and came across your channel. Keep up the good work

Very good video! You were definitely born to guide!

Now I gotta get some Oar Buddies for my Clacka. Great Video!

Oly marked it as his territory 🐶Sweet boat Ash 🤙

Great video - timeless in a way. Im new to the drift boat world and ordered a boat which will be delivered in the spring. So I am learning as much as I can in advance of hitting the water. On the topic of anchors - what is your opinion of lead vs composite anchors (such as the torpedo stack)?

As a former lab breeder, I love the relationship and training you have with Olie.

Interesting to see other people a set up there boats . I run a Clakacraft Eddy here in Montana and love it . What’s it like rowing this with two people in front ? I see this setup quite a bit in the pacific NW . Thanks for sharing.

That is the best drift boat ever produced.

I like how you are organized your boat setup and equipment professional. Are you taking any advance setup guide services for October silver salmon fishing?

I like the anchor pedal! Was that an add-on, or did it come with your Clack? I'd like to figure out a way to incorporate that into my Willie Drift Boat.

What size oars you running in that clack my daughter just purchase one

My Lure Benson designed and built by me for sale drift boats - sleds - Dory's I use the pully system on the right side of the drift boat and often use on my other boats and use a double pully for the anchor system giving leverage to pulling up the anchor. For me the floor step & drop anchor system here is to slow and by the time you've grunted to get that anchor up the boat has slipped 20 feet down river. I also would never leave my oars up out of the water which caused the drift boat to slip & slide from side to side. Placing the oars in the water with the blade vertical acts as a rudder keeping the drift boat straight on anchor. Another plus of my drift boats is an inverted water Ruder system to assisting the drift boat in tracking strait along with my drift boats have a 2"x1" UHMW chines and the bottom of my boats are armored with 1/4 UHMW skid shoes. Summer of 2023 will be a new 14 foot drift boat model that is already started.

Drip best way to fish with salmon, steelhead and crabbing. I’ll do it all. 10:36

In the long-term, I'm gonna have to save for a boat like this.

What a good boy

Where did you get your rowers seat riser?

I'm in the Willamette Valley and getting ready summer steelhead. I've been doing mostly soft beads this winter. Should I stick with this pattern, or go to worms or jigs? I know cork and yarnie are used a lot too.

What kind of oars/locks are those? Never seen them on a Clacka.

What do you do for fish storage? I bleed them on a rope with a clip, then put the fish in a kill bag.

Oly🥰

What kind of trolling rod holders do you have and how do you mount them?

What’s the thing on your anchor? The orange stop thing? Where do you get it from? I need need one lol

Bass fishing? It will be hard to ever beat fishing El Salto Mexico.

Hi, I’m new to your channel. Why did you choose a glass boat over a metal one?

Hey Ash I have a drift boat from 1975 it was made in the hump tulips Washington northwest drift boat six of them were made 14-footer and 18 footer they're nice boats you sure had a nice plank of craft with but that's a nice boat just wanted to compliment you on your boat and how organized you are I like you or buddies them are neat

Put the oars under your legs when you’re floating out of water trick of the trade

I used to sit in my Clacka in the side yard and drink a beer on non-fishing days. I sold that boat and that was a mistake. Now I just sit in the side yard with a beer wishing I didn't sell that boat.

Great video.... how about having a first aid kit?? Regard Richard.. uk.

My dad works at clacka

What do you look for in steelhead water?
