I am thinking of getting a small inflatable boat of some kind to ferry
myself across smaller western rivers (e.g. Gunnison in CO) during high water
when they become too deep to wade across. I just want something that would
be manageable to cross fairly fast current (not white water) with a small
amount of fishing gear. What would be the best kind of design for this
purpose?**Shore*lines*can sometimes be shallow and rocky.
