Me and my brother have had great adventures fishing from a Kayak on the kaministiqua river in Thunder Bay from a Kayak. Started at Stanley and went down from there. Woo Hoo.

That is what we use for getting to work in the bush, and in the evenings if time permits we use it for "food procurement". Straps nicely onto the planes pontoons and is extremely sturdy, even in fairly rough water. With a four horse on the back it gets us to our work or camp sites quickly. I see no fun in paddling if you don't have to. I'd rather spend my time fishing. If quiet is needed (ie. for specks) I use an electric trolling motor.

I'm a big 250'er and it takes me and my whole family and its the first canoe I can sit on the seat all day in reletive comfort. There's a square stern and then there's a transum stern - and its a lot wider at the back - I can put on a nice little 2 hp yammy and away we go for trolling. very nice lightweight setup.
