Clave Schedule 2007

Mike When, What, Where?

This is a _very_ long shot, I know: I will be fishing for Atlantic
salmon (and maybe grayling) in the northernmost part of Finland right
after midsummer (25.6.-), and could arrange a mini-clave if someone
is interested.

I invited our Swedish friends (Roger et al.) to join, but they had
already booked another fishing engagement at the same time.

Here are a few photos of the fishing spot next to my camp - as you can
see, a two-handed rod helps (I can teach two-handed casting if
necessary):

That's an interesting boat!
Sort of canoe/dory hybrid, that can handle moving
water and a motor.

Is there a name for that boat? How can I find out
how to build one?

In Sweden they were/are simply called river boats. The shape makes it
easier travelling the rivers. They were quite common during the days of
timber flotation.
My Grandfather had one, and I have on numerous occasions had the
pleasure of riding both up and downstream River Byske. Easy to maneuver
and not to wide, the latter meaning that they will cut through the
current very well. All in all it is a very good soultion to travel up
and down rivers, unless a canoe is sufficient for one's needs.

Thank you Roger. That's a start. I've been working with Google, but
have not yet found a boat building site that sells blueprints--Swedish,
Finnish or Norweigian, or whatever. That's what I want: blueprints.
That looks like a damn fine boat.

Roger In Sweden they were/are simply called river boats.

They are called river boats here in Finland too. I did find a PDF-file
with instructions and drawings - unfortunately the text is in Finnish,
but maybe a boat builder like you can make some sense of the obscure
drawings:

Thank you Jarmo. That's a start. I can't read the text,
but numbers and numbers. I can see from the drawings
what's going on. This seems to be much like a long
skinny dory at both ends, stretched apart by a flat
spot in the middle. That's seems to be the distinguishing
characteristic of this boat..........the only way to make a looooong
dory that doesn't end up shaped like a bananna.

www.duckworksbbs.com might be a resource for you. They're a boat
building Web site and someone there might know more. Or be able to
translate the Finnish for you.
