Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} watercraft recommendations?

What type of kayak do you have, there are all sorts of motors that can be mounted now and can be raised through the rapids.  A pedal drive would be destroyed on your first ledge.  Adding a torquedo or something like that may be a good option.  I have a center console POD in my yak so I'm working on a DIY job to keep the cost down,  but  stern mounted one motor would be easier for you to raise.

Shoot me an email and we can set up a time to inflate. That snakehead float was the best day of fishing I've ever had.

Rob- that would be great.  I first heard of WMs from your snakehead podcast, sounds like a good choice for above the fall line.

I have a Dave Scadden and Water Master if you want to check them out. I've taken the Watermaster down the Rapp. Loads of fun. Watermaster fit in their own backpack with pump and oars.

Since a SUP doesn't seem to bother your elbow as much, would a small canoe work? Old town makes one that is just under 12 feet long. They also used to make one just under 15 feet that you can sometimes find used.

Greg,

Out of curiosity, how does pedal drive work in class 1 - 3 Rapids.  I scrape bottom a lot on my conventional kayak.

Pedal drive.  It ain't cheap but thats my grail.   It's hands free, which has to be better for your elbow.

Looking for a 1 person boat for fishing local whitewater (primarily the Rapp), Class I-III rapids.  Due to chronic tennis elbow, I'm having a tough time paddling kayaks, so I need to find a replacement.  Other considerations- weight, stability, durability and packable would all be pluses . Considering a Watermaster Kodiak, but they are pricey.  Looking for a SUP for flatwater fishing as they don't bother me as much to paddle.  Any other recommendations?  Thanks!
