A Load of Fisherman Return on the
Russian River Ferry

A drift boat is a good option for getting away from the crowds at Russian River and find some solitude. Drift Boat guides are available in the area and make a scenic change from lining up with the other combat fishing. However, you can also find more solitude by simple hiking up the Russian River. Unfortunately there is some pressure along the whole length of the Russian.

To truly get away from the crowds, consider hiking up to the Russian Lakes and fish for Rainbows.
