Flyfishing from a canoe is excellent! You do have to manage casting and I think that is a challenge early on but the payoff is rewarding. If you can double (or single) haul you can have a trip of a lifetime with a single 8-wt rod and floating line. In June, you could probably fish all week with 12-18 flies if you wanted and no more tackle than would fit in your PFD. Also, you must control the canoe more precisely than when regular fishing which can be a challenge if you have a newby partner in the front or if solo fishing. I have not done solo trips but if I did, I would flyfish only in calm water. |

quote jeroldharter: "I've never been to that particular area. Love basecampjng trips though." Heading out on a trip through wicksteed, darky, brent, conmee, and back through argo, crooked (or vice versa havent decided yet) on June 10. Will be basically fly fishing exclusively for all species. CANNOT WAIT. ill report back on success. Ill also hopefully be going to New Orleans later this fall to sight fish Bull redfish on fly... Just got back from a trip to western wisconsin to the Driftless for trout. Did super well. Nothing else planned at this point but im sure ill have others. |

For the first time in years, I am not taking a trip to Quetico. Instead I am going to Hawk Lake Lodge with a group of three others in early June. Then I am doing a fly in trip from Nestor Falls at the end of July - not my favorite time but the time available to me. I think I am geared up with flies, leaders, tippet, and some new fly line. What are others doing? |
