small planer boards for river fishing

[dremarquis]

so far, all i have done is flyfished the LO tribs, but i did see a guy last year catching quite a few steelies while using kwikfish that he was "river trolling" from a stationary point on the bank by having a small planer board take his lure into eddies, holes, etc. the planer board was about 1/3 the size of the offshore boards that guys use trollling in lakes.

do any of you know where to buy or order those smaller planer boards?

thanks a bunch.

i'm also going to post this Q on the LO trib section

I'll answer on this thread also.

Luhr Jensen Side Planer. Cabelas has them.

They work like gang busters. I used them with GREAT success on Washington ST. steelhead and salmon rivers. I could go into a hole where fishin men had been thrashing the water all day without success and pull out several fish. I usually left after 2 so as to not get accosted by angry anglers.

Can't use them in an active drift because they will greatly impede the drift and fly fishin men. They will intentionally snare your "troll".

Find a quite section of the stream and have fun catching fish.

Try the TX-6 Church boards. They work well for me for that presentation. Deadly method.
