after rowing my first two trips in class 2 rapids or less, this video is extremely helpful. two biggest takeways are using the BACKWARD stroke with nose pointed to shore (45 degree). i was pushing forward trying to out-muscle the current WITH momentum. that was dumb on my first go around. another dumb mistake was despite the first few hours of very calm waters...i didn't have life vest on as a newbie. i jumped out of raft to hold on and then current overwhelmed--so there i was no life vest and boat with wife and kids moving away. i know, dumb. so please everyone, if this helps even one person choose to wear a vest, please do so. i was a lot naive despite watching numerous videos etc. and reaching out to folks for the 'easiest' stretch of the colorado. it could have gotten very ugly very quickly and i am thankful it didn't.

Shirley Smith

Thanks for this video, never spent any time floating and have an experienced friend who wants to teach me. Watched your video just to be familiar with some of the things he'll be telling me once we get on the water and can actually just starting getting the mechanics down in my mind before I put a hand on an oar! Thanks again, you made it look so easy and all I could think is, I'll be exhausted after 30 strokes. LOL

I know this is a few years but a huge thank you for putting it out. I just got a pontoon boat and your video was a massive help!

Thanks for putting it out

Hey you bet, I'll try to do more of these soon.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it with us sir. I found it to be very useful. Thank you and have a blessed week.

Thanks a lot man. Ive got some time in a kayak on the bow river but just bought a pond boat and set it up for rowing. Just trying to learn how to set my oars up with wraps and stops is teaching me how little i actually know. Never occurred to me that the oars can be deadly. On a kayak its not locked in right? Lol

Gone Fishing Colorado

Well done video! Way to explain it step by step! Thanks for sharing

ACBP INFO

This is great info. I'm a new drift boat owner and appreciate all the safety tips. Thank you. Question unrelated to the video: What are this sunglasses? They seem to offer good wrap-around protection.

Great video. I think everyone who watched thought I could do that. Now weather that is true or not don’t know. You way of teaching and explaining things is great.

Red's Fly Shop

Thanks so much Stephen, so appreciated.

and one more thing... would be awesome to show a video of positioning a boat for a fairly new rower for the fly fishers on the raft/boat. the guides are awesome with how stressful it can get with new fisher folks, tangled, worried about banks and rapids--wow, you guys are worth way more than i even generously tipped before. please show how to position the raft and how to be angler friendly rower!

Red's Fly Shop

That is a great tip.

John Stewart

Very helpful...confirmed what I thought I was seeing the guides do....keep the bow pointed right. Much I didn’t know beyond that.

R D

Very good tips thanks for the info 👍🏻

Excelente video. I would like to see more of the same topic

Tobin Hart

This was the most helpful video on all of youtube. Cant wait until your next one.

Chris Trevino

Hi, excellent video, I would like to know where I can buy the system to handle the anchor with the foot, that shows in the video.
Thank you

Paul Ogden

Excellent instruction. Learned several handy new tips. I need a new anchor system on mine as well.

Red's Fly Shop

Do you have a boat you would like to put it in? If so, NRS Northwest River Supply is a good place for the parts. My boat is a Clackacraft and it comes standard with all of this.

Bill Joel

Rule #1 POINT the bow of the boat where you DON'T WANT TO GO...and back row... at a 45 degree angle of course. All you need to know

Paul Meyers

That’s what I teach

Jim Truscott

Great ! Please do a video with an angler in the boat... or two.

Bill Dodson

Joe, Thanks for the video. I'm building a Don Hill Drift Boat and am interested in the adjustable seat you are using in your boat. Do you know where I can buy one like it. Thanks, Bill Dodson Troy, Montana

Red's Fly Shop

Hi Bill, I'm not sure of the maker. I don't see a mfr. label on it. You can certainly contact Clackacraft and ask. They are wonderful guys there and will be happy to help!

WESTSIDEGUY

Another awesome video Joe!

Keep doing the rowing tips, do some tips about rowing while some one is fishing in the front.

Red's Fly Shop

8y↑5

Good idea, I'll try do that soon and make it more specific on how to row over a flies drift.

I would gladly be designated coffee run boy just to work at Reds. The information is invaluable!

Red's Fly Shop

Just saw this comment, we love our jobs here! Great place.

Arthur Womack

Excellent video!

Jeff Plummer

Thx for great rowing info. I'm putting a Saturn KaBoat together, both oars and an 8 hp Evinrude. This tutorial kind of video is invaluable

Great to know, you will love that boat. Sounds versatile!

Brad Friesen

Great Video, I am want to get a lesson.

Bad stuff happens along the bank... good to know.

eklarsen

Any reason you have river right oar lock in position 1 and river left oar lock in position 2

Cristian Rodriguez

Thanks so much for share your knowledge. I got one question for you. What do you think of oar buddy’s?

Cristian Rodriguez

Hey Joe, thanks for answering. Oar buddy are some kind of bracket that you can place in your boat so when need rest your oars, you don’t have to place them under your legs. I think Clackar sell this items.

Red's Fly Shop

I'm not sure what oar buddy's are, guessing they are similar to an "Oar Right"? and my answer is I love them for when the oars are anchored or at rest so they are being stored in a consistent organized position. I don't typically row using them, and position them up higher towards my hands so they aren't impeding the natural rotation of an oar stroke.

cristina ferreira

Great info

Nice video guys. Only thing you're missing is: WEAR A PFD!!! It doesn't matter if its class II or V, You can drown in a bathtub. A PFD is such an easy piece of gear to use and it could save your life.

ghetto johnny

i have a question and I'm not being snody about it but,
do you not use the Oar Rights in the Oar Locks?
just curious.
Newbie Rower here.

Red's Fly Shop

8y↑4

Great question. I don't row with them because I constantly am tweaking my stroke and actually like to rotate the oar during the stroke. I like them for anchoring and simply holding the oar straight when I am not rowing so I always know the orientation of the blade.

Jeremy Thomas

Good video !!!

Lokesh Thakur

hey what was the reason for the 45 degree angle again?

Kaitlin Hasler

Less surface area of your boat actually being pushed by the current allows better control of the boat. It isn't just hitting you straight on the side of your boat.

Red's Fly Shop

Well as soon as you get beyond 45 degrees, i.e. 90 degrees to the current you have a couple of issues. If you do hit a rock its much more violent because the impact hits the "chine" or edge of the boat. Also, the boat won't slide over the rock, and its more difficult to maintain control because your oar strokes should slow the boat down. The more the boat is oriented straight up and down stream the more options you have to evade obstacles. Please ask more questions if this isn't explanatory enough.

badfishgood

Awesome.

Stephen Douglass

Where do I buy this boat?

Kaitlin Hasler

Joe has mentioned in a few videos he is a "Clackacraft" drift boat fan. Good boats made in OR I believe.

JimBot

Id love a video of the Crawl stroke......

JimBot

Red's Fly Shop thanks man. It’s one of those things that is hard to figure out.

Red's Fly Shop

Good idea. I need to do a few more rowing videos for sure.

ALoonwolf

You say many people would learn on an inflatable raft, but then explain how to row something an experienced rower would upgrade to. On your little inflatable raft you are stuck in one position, the oars are cramped and not as easy to use as on your boat, there is no anchor, etc. I tried rowing for the first time today. Immediately I found it was a lot easier to row forwards than backwards, even if it was less powerful.

chris comallie

Dumb question, but how do you get back to where you started?

Jeff Plummer

I was able to Lyft on the mad River in Urbana Ohio. Depends on where you are

JimBot

5y↑3

You can have your buddy leave a car at the take out, and then jockey the cars around. Or in most cases you pay for someone to move your vehicle for you. Believe it or not there are people that make a pretty good living moving peoples vehicles to there preferred take out. I have yet to find a river where i could get Lyft or Uber.

mark aichele

There are no ropes on a
boat!

Jackson T.

Is there a way to move the boat sideways

Jackson T.

@Red's Fly Shop that would be greatly appreciated, I don't think there's a single video on that at all on YouTube

Red's Fly Shop

4y↑1

Yes, "crab stroke" I should demo that.

AzoXozA D

Thanks <3

Mirolim Saidov

5:34 great

Mace Mason

So he doesn't know is that those oar rights are really fir rowing . They act as a lever so when u take any stroke it equal a full stroke . They are for leverage rowing. Says on the package. He's got the rest correct

Red's Fly Shop

That makes sense. I don't know a fly guide in a skiff that actually uses Oar Locks for a full stroke, we short stroke the oars, feather, and crab all day long. We like the Oar Rights for stability when anchoring in fast currents.
