Put in on the Little Androscoggin just above the dam, it's slow water and
I rowed upstream for like an hour and half. Just getting the hang of it.
I'm not a rower, I'm a paddler so it's not intuitive, but I got the hang
of it and had a pretty good workout. I finally stopped on a shallow bar
and rigged a fly rod up, put on a muddle and started drifting downstream.

As someone else mentioned the pontoons don't track in a straight line.
the little andy is a small river and I found myself making frequent
adjustments to the drift, which precluded stowing the oars. Hence the
oars were in the way all the time. I can see why some people also use
fins, I'll take mine next time, it was an oversight forgetting them.

Fairly quick I had a hit, small fish looked like, but I managed to miss
it. As I drifted along I would see fish rising from time to time, so I
switched over to a dry fly. Missed another fish. That were my hits for
the day. At one point I saw a huge fish on a shallow bar, 16-18" fish.
Could have been a smallie, brown or a rainbow as all are in this river.
Furthur down there were some really small fish jumping at black flies,
looked like little browns, which is good news for the river. Next time I
hope to put in a few miles upstream at a bridge and drift down to the
place I put in today, nice river, no houses except on the lower end.

The pontoon will take a bit of getting used to, but I think once I get
the hang of it this is going to be a heck of a little platform for river
runs.

Break down at the truck was cake, far easier than I expected, I popped
the frame apart, diconnected the pontoons, opened the valves and the
pontoons deflated themselves while I loaded the rest into the truck. 10
mins maybe to pack up.

My arms and shoulders are a bit sore, I guess I got my aerobic rowing
workout.
