A flyfishing guide in Northern California (since 1981) that uses a 14' Vanguard raft to guide for trout, steehead and salmon on the Trinity, Klamath, and Sacramento Rivers.
We just took 2 heavily loaded 14'2" VG's down the Grand were they
performed AWESOME. These rigid little boats punched through some waves
that flipped other 16' & 18' boats. The other Boatmen were all
hard pressed to release the oars once they tried our Vanguards out. You
guys make a durable 'Sporty' boat that can't be beat for the money.
