Drift Boat Rowing Lessons
You just spent thousands of dollars on a new drift boat. Why not spend some time with one of our professional guides and learn how to properly use it?
Rowing Lessons can be supplemented into any Full Day Guided Green River Trip - just let us know at the time of booking your trip. Your guide can spend part or most of the float trip going over rowing tips, questions and pointers.
Let our experienced guides show you how to safely navigate the Green River, teach you what not to do, and cover these essential rowing skills:
Boat & River Etiquette
Boat Positioning & Boat Speed
Efficient Oar Strokes & Feathering
Dangerous Situations
How to Safely Approach Obstacles, and Rapids
When & Where to Drop Anchor
We did 2 collaboration videos with the fine folks at Fly Fish Food that are full of tips from 2 of our veteran guides - Charlie Card & Scott Barrus.
All of our guides are independent contractors and own their own drift boats. It is at their discretion if they allow you to row their boat.
Unfortunately, every season there are several drift boats that end up on the bottom of the river. Lost fishing gear, risk of drowning, hypothermia, & hurt pride are the end result of these experiences. If you sink a boat on the Green River you are legally responsible to get it out. Boat recovery can run hundreds of dollars. Learning how to row a boat properly will result in safe trips, more fish caught and a better time with your friends!
The Green River provides a huge variety of water types to help build your rowing prowess. Boulders, cliffs, class II - III rapids, narrow shoots, riffles, back eddies and open flat water can all be navigated.
Don't end up like these guys!
