NRS Approach 138 Fishing Raft

An ultra-lightweight watercraft that redefines accessibility, the Approach 138 gives up to three anglers the opportunity to stalk fish others can’t. Whether you’re hiking into a wilderness river or hopping the guardrails into roadside streams, the Approach 138 is as easy to transport as it is to float skinny waters.
