Drifing In Canoe

[ghus32]

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

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.

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.

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 agree. 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.
