Default Fly Fishing Canoe

Florida Everglades fly anglers like Chico Fernandez, Flip Pallot and other
like a 16 foot "tumblehome" or "cottage" style canoe for fly fishing.

They are about 36 inches wide with a flat bottom and a keel for flat water.

If they are in less than 4 feet of water they can stand and poll themselves
along with a 12 foot poll.

The Navarro "16' Otter" is a good example of this style of canoe.

If you are running "white water" to get to the fish you might need a
different style canoe.

I just came across the Old Town Osprey Angler 155 canoe. It's Royalex
(heavier at 68 pounds) but it sure looks like a stable canoe. It even
comes with oar locks in case you'd use them, and anchors. Here's a
link:

Anyone fish our of one of these?
