Fly Fishing Craft from JPWAny one of our boats can be used for fly fishing, but some of our best dealers offer frames that make the experience of fishing much more user friendly. However, JPW does sell NRS fishing Frames, Mosquito rafts, and Cutthroats, that you can purchase directly. Our cutthroats and large cats that fit NRS fishing frames are often modified to fit a customers needs. For Quality Fishing Frames Consider contacting: NRS (northwest rafting supplies Frames) Down River Equipment Denver, Co Bill French Durango, Co 970 946 0555

Let’s face the fact that fly fishing is mostly about access to the water. With this reality in mind. Please do not forget to think about the cutthroat, and Culebra craft. Sometimes it comes down to the idea that you may be able to go if you can fit it in the float plane, or hike it down the trail. Perhaps you may want a boat for multiple reasons, and one of these boats fit the multiple categories best. At JPW we think it is difficult to make one boat fit all applications. Have a look around at different models and see if these variations may work better for you. More about this first picture: Catarafts are great fly fishing boats because they are great low water boats (often when the fishing is best), and they can be held easily in place in the river by the oarsman (guide). This is just an example of a great system that can be added to or subtracted from. Our dealers who make Cat frames all have a variation on this theme. For instance Down river equipment has this diamond plate floor and motor set up on this Super Eltigre cataraft.
Dragonfly with delux River Boat Works frame Nice craftmanship on this frame from River Boat Works. Also RBW has been instrumental in getting us to put upswept drop stitch floors in these boats so fishermen can stand further out toward the end of the raft on the drop stitch floor. Have a look at the cutaway so you can see what we mean. With this system, there is no need for a diamond plate floor to stand on, so the whole thing will weigh less. Also because the floor is raised up inside, the boat tracks well and drafts less, making our rafts the fastest boats on the water. Have a look at the general boat construction idea, and see if you agree with the concept.
