I live in Portland PA, does anyone know it The local area from say delaware water gap, stroudsburg, martins creek area, if youd be able to fit a 19 foot bayliner capri in there? safely? Fish and game commission's website says that area is mostly for Moderate draft fishing boats, im not sure what the capris draft is or how you determine that?

Please excuse my ignorance

I just looked at the website info for some areas in Louisiana that I familiar with. If the data is as inaccurate across the board as it is for the areas that I examined, I think the site is pretty much useless.

I don't boat in that area but my understanding is tha the river is mostly not navigatealble also mostly rocks. Good place for a canoe or kyak. South of Trenton the river opens up.
