Maybe a float tube with suspenders so you can walk with it? There are a
couple different types of fins you can use. A lot of guys use regular swim
fins to move the rig. They are very effective, but you are pretty much only
moving backwards. There are also some that go on the sides of your feet
that aloow you to move forward. I have never tried those. You might post a
quesy to Doc(TheTinBoatKing) because he was formerly Doc(TheFloatTubeKing)
in this newsgroup.

I've been experimenting with different ways to fish a small rocky
creek where I live. I've tried wading and drifting in a canoe. The
problem with wading is I can't get to most of the good spots. The
problem with the canoe is that it's hard to cast from. The main
problem is you can't turn around or stand up in a canoe. I used to
have a small plastic pond boat called a bass hunter. It was made with
ABS plastic and had 2 swivel seats and a hookup for a trolling motor.
I was wondering if that would work on the creek. If you're sitting you
can spin around and it's easy to stand up. My worry is how it handles
the riffles. There's nothing over class I, the biggest problem is when
the water is shallow you get stuck. I'm also wondering how hard it
will be to maneuver with a paddle. All I really need to do is keep the
boat in the middle. I'd prefer not to have to deal with a trolling
motor.

Are there any other types of boats that would work better?
