Hi Dave,

I flyfish from canoe quite a bit and can easily say the most important
thing I think about when looking at canoes is: How many things are
sticking up. I swear I am never really sure if I'm fishing if there
isn't something tangled up, but fewer tangles are better.

I have been fishing out of a little aluminum type canoe for a while
and like it a lot for my solo excursions. Its VERY light and easy to
handle in a wind. The bottom is wide and flat. I feel very stable with
a foot on each side when I stand. I used to have a long lake style
canoe, but it was too narrow to feel stable when standing.

My 2 cents.

I hate the idea of fishing in a canoe by myself, without another paddler
to keep it in place and oriented in the wind to where I want to cast. I
far prefer a pontoon boat that I can control with both oars AND fins.
The oars get you to where you want to go and the fins keep you where you
want to be and facing in the direction you want to face.

I've fished in one-man kayaks in the Florida Keys and in Belize. Same
problem. Hated it.
