Best river scoop?

[matt4231]

I was just wondering what would be the best scoop for a rocky river. I have looked around but I need some opinions. Thanks!

That is a hard one. Rocky can be hard to work with anything. Most scoops are made for sand and gravel. But they do work to pick up or flip rocks. Good luck!

Thanks steve. I have been looking at the stealth scoops but I am still undecided.

This scoop is heavy, but really works well in rocky bottoms.http://www.nuttallenterprises.com/servlet/StoreFront and tough as nails.

Thanks Can Slaw. I looked at this one before looked iffy but thanks for the info. I will definitely look into this one.

In rocky rivers - I usually wear my mask & snorkel and a pair of gloves and drop down and fan
you'd be surprised at what size rocks can be easily moved with the wave of a hand under water

sent you a PM with site that has story I did on scoops

Better start looking into a hookah, nothing else works.

Top notch scoops - Had one and loved it.

Fan with a glove on. Use a pick or short pry bar to move the rocks when needed.

10$ shovel and a homemade sifter works too!
