On a good day I will collect over 200 pounds of agate and petrified wood. I use the white feed bags to hold the rock. These kayaks are designed to float 900 pounds. They are 3 person kayaks. They are very stable, but get a little sluggish with several hundred pounds of rock. The bags are sitting on top of the kayak. If I tip over, I loose the bags, but that's never happened. This picture was taken just north of Savage Montana. The cliff is 80 million years old volcanic ash which is part of the Hell Canyon formation. These are fossil bearing formations. You can see coal strips along the bottom of the formation. This is a slow moving section of the river. In the fall the river moves pretty slow. If you want big fast water come in June. However all the rock bars are underwater.
