All the benefits of a nice drift boat without the $15k+ price tag! The perfect way to access waters only written about in books. My Stealthcraft Mini Fly is light and easy for beginners and but was customized for a guide! Row / drift only, no motors allowed at this time. I’ll do my best to make sure you are all set to have a successful fly fishing trip! Boat comes with a trailer that requires a 2" hitch. Let me know if you need a hitch!
Trailering is not currently an option until I receive my guide license. You will have to trailer the boat, but I can meet you pretty much anywhere (even on the road leading up to the public launch site). I can also spot for you if you need a spot at an additional charge. This service is subject to availability, and by that I mean, if I am fishing lol.
Perfect for accessing waters only written about by nearby drift boat or river boat fishermen! Expand your reach with all the benefits of having your own fly fishing drift boat near Grayling, Kalkaska, Traverse City etc. Perfect for floating down the Pere Marquette, AuSable, Manistee, East Jordan, South Boardman and parts of the Betsie, Platte river and more!
This is also a great way to see if you'd like a Mini Fly or need to upgrade to a Sniper, etc.
Not into fly fishing? This boat is perfect as a stable alternative to canoeing or kayaking.
12′ Down the center, 52″ bottom, 72″ at the oarlocks 23″ at the highest point of the recurve and 18″ at the lowest. A nice stable drifter can fish 3 people but fishes 2 excellent. Very easy to get in and out of tough places and has enough rocker to row in very heavy water. Comes with port rod holder and tackle tray, front false floor, pedestal front seating, rowers box seating, rear deck with removable seat, standard diamond-plate oarlock and motor mount, Dierks side anchor system, large bow eye, keel-guard bow protector, and Supra Gel bottom. Boat weight is approx. 250 pounds.
***Please note*** This boat is not rustic portage friendly, plan your trips accordingly and ask me prior to booking if a specific stretch is drift-able. This boat will not clear any low bridges (like the two on the North Branch of the AuSable, upstream from Kellogg's Bridge near Lovell's township).
I am also a licensed fishing guide, so if you want a guided trip, let me know. I can also just row for you if you need for an additional rate.
