The higher you can sit the easier it is to fly fish. And you stay drier and warmer. As stated oars make the going much faster and less work. But fins are useful once you get where you are going. I used the "Creek Sport LT" which is a good pontoon boat for the money and on sale at for $250. And pontoons are suited for up to class II moving water as well.
