| The recent explosion in whitewater boating and float fishing has led many anglers to purchase rafts, catarafts, pontoon boats or drift boats without necessarily learning the skills of rowing in moving water and river safety. Greg Felt, co-owner of ArkAnglers, has been teaching rowing instruction for rafting and drift boat guiding since 1985. He and our crew of Class IV-V qualified float fishing guides bring a unique fishing perspective to the challenge of learning to row. Starting on the oars in gentle, moving water, we progress to reading and scouting rapids, defensive boating, using eddies, ferrying techniques, and river safety. Our goal is to make anglers into safe river runners - people who know their abilities, know their limits, and who have the proper foundation so they can continue to improve their skills on their own. |

One-Day Rowing Instructional Five-day Intensive School The School is held in Salida, usually in early spring. The class meets
each morning at the Arkansas River Fly Shop at 8:00 am and will return
around 6:00 pm. Participants will want to come prepared with additional
clothing for the full range of spring weather conditions. A dry bag
for extra clothing and cooler for lunches will be provided. There will
be an instructor and boat for every two students. Fishing from the boat
by the student who is not rowing will be encouraged after the initial
day of instruction. For more information on the course, suggested equipment list, and accommodations options, please call Greg Felt at 719-539-4223 or email to greg@arkanglers.com. |
