Hello; Back in the late 1950's a friend's father had a 1954 Cadillac. The trunk was big enough to hold a 5HP outboard, a tent and all the camping gear for three. My friend and i were around 12 years old. His father would rent a dock boat with oars. The outboard was used to run us out to a fishing area. Then one of us boys had to row while the other two fished. it was always one of us boys who rowed. I got pretty good at rowing.
later in life I started fly fishing. I even had waders. I would wade in the shallow parts of rivers. Caught some nice smallmouth bass in a section of Clinch River in TN. The bottom was too uneven and wound up turning my ankles. I did use a neoprene wader in the Smoky MT's during winter one time. Too cold even with the thick wader. I sometimes waded in the Cumberland River between Harlan and Pineville KY.
I pretty much have given up wading and now have an electric trolling motor for my boat.
