Not familiar with river boats but I guess they have limits too.....so I was knee deep with a nice deeper pocket of water on one side then about 75 yards of shallow water on the other side of me, I was slowly working my way down the river working the deeper pocket and hear a river boat coming, super cool watching this thing with three people on it buzz by but I guess they have limitations to as it grinded it’s way across the rocky bottom and came to a rather abrupt stop, people inside got back on their feet, pushed it and use the oars for a bit to get to deeper water, on their way back up river they ran a deeper line and of coarse we waved at each other.
Was an interesting day on the river, never a dull moment
