Try Essex Industries.
They are a sheltered workshop that seems to supply a large part of the canoe indusry

I made one using Wenonah's basic yoke--got solo clamp hardware from hardware store Basic yoke

Whoops--just saw this was an old post.

On a recommendation from SUNCATCHER a few years ago, I bought a custom clamp-on portage yoke from Hidden River Yoke Shop West Salem, WI. (608) 786-4660. The owner of this small company took the measurements of my solo Bell Magic and made a nice clamp on yoke.






You add the pads you to the yoke. I added some Bourquin pads. I am partial to Bourquin portage pads made in Ely, MN.


Superior is another portage pad brand that is also top quality.

You can also get a nice portage yoke from Oak Orchard Canoe.

Sorry not sure why Link to Oak Orchard Clamp-on Portage Yoke in my last post did not work.


Lets try it again:

Just type in "Clamp-on Portage Yoke" in the Oak Orchard "product search" section of the link in previous post and hit "GO" and you will see the yoke I am talking about.


Sorry it took 3 posts to get you where I was trying to direct you.

Spring Creek was bought out by Duluth Pack. You can try at Duluth Pack, but maybe Piragis or northwest canoe.

Recently picked up an Old town 12 ft. Royalex pack canoe. I realize this isnt the ideal solo tripper but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

I am looking for a padded portage yoke for old town solo pack canoe. I am looking for places to buy one. The Old Town site does not have padded yokes.

Thanks

Caw
