ghus32 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hello Everyone, My friend and I are going down the bow on the weekend in a larger canoe, I was wondering if the drift time is moderately the same for a canoe than a drift boat. what are some fishing techniques fishing from a canoe because my guess is that you cant stand up a lot to cast and fight fish? Is it feasible to leave fish creek and reach mckinnons flats within the day with a canoe Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 No problem at all,i would think you'll be much quicker then a drift boat so you'll have plenty of time to stop and fish. Trolling a streamer when paddling may work but make sure you have some sort of rod holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutlover Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 A canoe is much faster than a drift boat or a pontoon. I wouldn't recomend trying to fish from it but it is great for transport. Drift to a spot walk and wade then move onto the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 i do a TON of river caoeing and we can do 30-40k easy in a day. but you can also slow it down to what ever you want. if its just one person you can stand up very easly and casting is not much of a problem.....2 people it is MAYHAM, one person will lean on way and the other person will try to compensate and it will all get wet from there.

I would have the guy in the front fishing while the guy in the back steers/controls the canoe. Or just pull over at sweet spots. If you are running out of time you should be able to dig in and cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
