861 | How Wooldridge Boats Shaped Jet Boat History from the Rogue River to Togiak River and Beyond

#861 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/861 Presented By: Togiak River Lodge Grant Wooldridge carries one of the most influential river-boating legacies in the West. As the great-grandson of Glen Wooldridge, who grew up on the Rogue River and helped pioneer early river boat innovation, Grant brings a family perspective shaped by generations of river travel and experimentation. While Grant was raised in Washington, the Rogue River stories and lessons passed down through his family remain central to the Wooldridge Boats legacy. We dig into early wooden boats, the evolution of jet technology, and why Wooldridge Boats continues to balance innovation with durability and safety. From historic Rogue River runs to modern materials testing and restoration work, this conversation is about respecting river history while building boats designed for the future. #861 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/861
