Field Notes: The Boat I Built Instead of Buying

Описание: This page of Field Notes is about boats — and the one I built myself.

After talking last week about boats vs RVs, I realized I never really told the story of this little skiff. I built this boat about 24 years ago when money was tight, a kid was on the way, and I still wanted a way to stay connected to fishing and the outdoors.

Instead of buying another boat, I ordered some plans, started cutting wood in the garage, and learned how to build one from scratch. Over the years I’ve modified it for fly fishing, added a few upgrades, and it’s still getting me on the water today.

Not a how-to, not a review — just a look at a homemade boat, why I built it, and why it still matters.

Field Notes is a running journal about fly fishing, gear, travel, and the things that keep us close to the water.

Thanks for spending another page of Field Notes with me.
