Hey Warren, the raft is better for the Madison, but I've only been to
the San Juan once without it since I got it. We're slowly figuring out
the fishing with the boat but very slowly! Your instructions made it
much easier for me to learn to manuever the boat when I got it. I
haven't rowed anything as tough as the Blackfoot since I got my boat,
that's for sure! Hope to see you next summer and maybe you can just
kick back and fish for a change. bruce h
