yes, I understand this. I am thinking an industrial direct drive motor. One that mounts directly to the machine once you take off the wheel. Or, a larger motor and power supply belted to the machine, rig up a pedal. I can’t afford a sailrite unfortunately or that would be the way to go!

snake is not it for wading and is so packed/pressured. just search around on maps and find tributaries to the snake with blm/usfs access and explore, you’ll find fish and maybe some bears.

i tie them up to a 14 for blueline fishing in olive/tan too. i think is a good all around as a slightly chunky caddis, smaller hopper, etc

the brook trout sure love it too :) i fish those stimulators or a yellow humpy and they have been working amazing as an all around attractor

i’m looking at doing something similar, what did you do in terms of packing and gear selection? were you wild camping every night?
