While the choice as to the best boat to use for trout fishing is obviously debatable and based largely on personal fishing preferences, there is one boat that stands out above all of the others in my opinion and that boat is called the Gig Bob. Sure they name is a bit strange, but when it comes to a personal boat that can be used for trout fishing this personal watercraft is as good as it gets, at least in my opinion. I have been fishing from this personal fishing boat
for a number of years and can't imagine life without it.
The Gig Bob is a boat that is rigid and can be rowed easily, and the great thing is that it doesn't have a frame! Not having a frame makes this personal fishing boat unique in the industry and makes setup extremely quick and easy as well as making the boat weigh much less then come of it's closest competitors. It also comes with a comfortable seat and built-in foot pegs that give you full support for an all day fishing excursion.
The pontoons are wide and flat, for excellent stability. You can even stand on the deck without fear of the boat tipping. And the flat bottoms on the pontoons give you a very shallow waterline so that you can slip right over rocks that snag a rounded pontoon. This fact is nice for trout fishermen, because as you know on many rivers we deal with some very shallow riffles that make fishing in this type of boat a pain in the butt sometimes. However, shallow riffles aren't a problem for the Gig Bob.
Lastly, this amazing trout fishing boat has 15 square feet of flat area on the Gig Bob deck, which gives you plenty of room to move around if needed. This also makes plenty of space for all your tackle, cooler, extra rods, heck even the family dog if you want to. This really is the best trout fishing boat for both spin and fly fishing trout fishermen.
The bottom line is that if you've ever looked into investing in a quality trout fishing boat, the Gig Bob is a difficult choice to beat and will serve you well for many years. Mine has been going strong for almost 10 years without an issue and I expect that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
