River boats

Have any of y’all fly fished from actual boats in really shallow water like in the brazos? I’m talking like Jon boats, bay boats, etc

We have two fish Cat R10 stand up that we take on out trips they are about 90lbs

Nice Rigs.

I fly fish out of my 14’ Jon boat all the time. I can stay seated or stand up. You can float or run it up on the bank. I use a trolling motor for power and always carry a paddle for pushing if needed. Rivers always have potential risks from flow so make sure to watch release flows. I catch bass, catfish, carp, buffalo, gar, sunfish, etc. Having a carp or big gar tow you around on a fly rod is really fun.

Here is a picture of my boat. Pretty simple set-up.

Those fish cats look really nice and stable.

I do. Fish the Brazos primarily. I run a 1652 modified V with a tunnel hull and 50/35 outboard jet. I can run anywhere there's 2' of water.

I fish out of a fourteen foot flat bottom jon boat as well. I have never taken it to the Brazos specifically but i have had it below the Denison Dam at Lake Texoma which, i figure, is just about the same thing. What you want to look for in a jon boat is width. Mine is 52" at the floor and is plenty stable enough to stand on a poling platform on the rear while having a guy stand on a casting platform and sight cast to fish up foward. It will also get you into some very shallow water either with a trolling motor or by poling.
