Learn to Row and Survive Whitewater (Attend Guide School on the Upper Sacramento)
By Tom Chandler on Apr 10, 2008 in Underground Entertainment, shameless commerce
Personal watercraft and shiny new drift boats dot fly fishing’s landscape, though at times those steering the things look a little out of control.
That’s why — in a blatant free plug for a local business — I’m flogging a whitewater guide training school on the Upper Sacramento River May 3-5.
It’s run by River Dancers, who know the Upper Sacramento like Gierach knows verbs. They’ve also produced several bazillion quality guides over the years, and there’s little question they’ve got the guide thing dialed.
Sure, cynics will wonder if my real motivation for urging whitewater-related education is the chance to publish a bikini photo, and to them I say the following: It’s just a side benefit.
The L&T took this class many years ago, and as a result, she was a champ behind the oars of Dave Roberts’ drift boat.
I’m not suggesting you force your spouse to take this course so you can fish while she/he rows (I would never suggest such a plan [nudge nudge, wink wink]).
I’m just mentioning it in passing is all. See you on the Class IIIs, Tom Chandler.

PFDs are important components in water safety.

Yes. It’s safety first here at the Underground too.

That is some false advertising right there. Something tells me that you get to the place and the cute chick becomes a burly gentleman wearing spandex.
No dice Im too smart for that.

I bet you don’t get her in the basic trip package….That looks like part of the premium package to me!
