I had never heard of a drift boat until recently. I've never seen one
in my area of Central Illinois. I Googled drift boats and they look
like "specialty boats" for Western rivers, but I wasn't sure. Would
these be any good for the Midwest rivers and lakes (for fly fishing
out of)?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of drift boats?


This is a very late reply, I've only just bothered to read the thread.
Take a look at:-

Scroll down a bit to see the sort of boat we fish on reservoirs - rarely
on rivers.

Is this what you call a drift boat. BTW this shot was taken a few years
ago on one of our URFG equivalent to a Clave.
