When you are in the cattails...
Posted by: steve_in_idaho on Nov-05-12 6:01 AM (EST)

...is the boat still floating? Or are they so thick that you actually have to drag *over* the rushes? If still floating, standing with a pole and pushing off the bottom may be a lot easier than pushing the boat while you wade through matted cattails. Your OT Sportsman should be okay for that.
