Fly Fisherman's Rowing Basics: Oar Work
In this video, Fly Fisherman contributing editor and veteran fishing guide Blane Chocklett details how to row a drift boat or raft for fly fishing. Oar work is key, and for most rowers, executing it properly is a little (or a lot) counterintuitive. From avoiding obstacles to keeping the boat a consistent distance from the bank and much more, Chocklett makes clear in simplified terms how to row your boat to catch more fish anywhere from Virginia to Montana and beyond. Whether you're a newbie or a need a refresher, this video is worth watching.
