Wilderness Waterways basket boat on the river, with fishing pole

Location: Widowmaker Rapid
Status: Live River
By: Courtesy Sierra Mac River Trips
Date: June 15, 1968
Description:

It was rare that people caught fish on the Stanislaus River, but someone on this Wilderness Waterways (Bryce Whitmore’s company, later Sierra Mac River Trips) trip has high hopes – see the pole sticking up. Even through rapids (below is Widowmaker), he’s got his gear ready!  Note the rowing frame being used on the basket boat – it was always a struggle to find the right frame design for these boats.
