For mid to large-sized rivers in a lightweight package, you can't beat the two-person Approach 120 from NRS.

The best two person exploration raft could be yours! The NRS Approach 120 is a purpose-built fly fishing raft perfect for creeks and rivers, lightweight drifting trips, and accessing water otherwise un-fishable from the bank. Unlike the Slipstream rafts, the Approach can be strapped to the top of an SUV or ute tub without needing a trailer, making it perfect for quick trips and smaller, shallower rivers. Centred around an ultra durable, 12' PVC raft and a custom fishing frame with a motor mount making it perfect for lakes and even bigger rivers. The Approach 120 is ready to row straight out of the box.

The included rowers package sets you up with oars, blades, a tornado anchor, a pulley system, and more, allowing you to hit the water right away. The Approach package is ideal for running down the Tumut River, Swampy Plains River, Murrumbidgee, Murray the list goes on targeting trout, bass, Murray and Trout Cod, and so much more. With space for two (including a rower), the NRS Approach package is the ultimate river weapon for inland tailwaters to coastal rivers.
