A Good Size for Solo Anglers

Rated for class II water, the cobalt blue Creek Company ODC XR9 Pontoon Boat is a midsize craft that handles both the rough water and is an ideal platform for the fly fisherman on calm water. Assembly is easy with this no-tools-required frame, and four cam-lock straps secure each pontoon to the frame. The heavy duty pump fills the air bladders quickly to get you on the water faster. The pontoons are made with 30 oz PVC thermo-welded outer covering over a 430 denier liner and 30 gauge PVC bladders. Weighing just 65 pounds itself, the pontoon boat carries a maximum payload of 375 pounds.

A 9' pontoon boat is the ideal length for most any size angler, although a larger, stronger individual would be advised to get a 10' boat. The Creek Company offers an optional aluminum platform that is designed specifically to fit their 9' boats. It’s a comfortable leg rest as well as offering the chance for standing and getting a better sight line over the water.

A Solution for Reaching the Far Fishing Hole

Alas, we’ve all felt that pang of standing on the shores of a lake loaded with hungry trout, and being unable to reach them due to bank brush or a vast clump of tall aquatic weeds. When shore casting won’t do, wading seems risky, and a float tube isn’t appealing, a high-riding pontoon boat is the go-to solution you want. The Creek Company ODC XR9 pontoon boat is affordable for fly fishing as well as for use as a drift boat and trolling. It has a retail price of $699 MSRP but can usually be found online for less.
