CROFF CRAFT - A Text, Louise, and a Rabbit Hole of Links

On Saturday afternoon a text from guide and cedar drift boat maker Phil Croff of Croff Craft came through with a link to Facebook Marketplace with a custom cedar drift boat that he is looking to sell.  
 
That got me going down a rabbit hole of T.F.M. posts that we've worked together on over the years and figured not only would I share the stunning drift boat that he's trying to sell but also share a few favorite posts that date back ten or more years ago to check out as well.








Longtime readers of T.F.M. might remember 'The Birth of a Drift Boat' series of posts that we did together a few years ago where Phil documented and explained his process while building "Louise" for a client.

Click through those posts one by one here...

And then that got me thinking about some time on the water, mostly in the dark, zigzagging through choked up creeks chugging mouse patterns at night waiting for a big SLURP...

And, before FishBeerBBQ, Matt Dunn of the now defunct FishBeer.com website, worked on a film project with Phil that is worth a watch.  So good.
