Have any of you that owned the 8' or 10' Hopper or HopperII ever used them in a river, specifically the Yak? Jim has told me in the past that they can be used for the Yak, but I've never actually heard from somebody who has done it.

Kent, I had an 8 foot Hopper that I bought from Jim. Nice guy and a great lake flyfishing pram. I did not make one of our annual BC sedge hatch trips so I let a friend borrow the boat. He liked it so much he bought it from me and I decided to upgrade to a 10 foot boat due to my expanding belly. The Hopper was an extremely comfortable, stable, quiet, lightweight fishing machine. Jim can add all kinds of accessories to match your style and the boat was very durable. Fits in the back of the pickup just great. The only problem, at least on the eastside, it getting them to the water. So many of the selective gear and fly only lakes are difficult to access with a pram. BC is one exception. Feel free to email me if you'd like more info. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kent Lufkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 8:51 AM Subject: Small stillwater craft? > I've been thinking about picking up a small (8-10 foot) pram or Jon boat for > stillwater fishing only.
