The Right Canoe for You By Bob Stearns How to pick a craft that's perfect for your fishing needs.
Canoes have a lot to offer anglers.
They have great weight-carrying capacity and most can accommodate more than one person. Canoes are easy to transport and let you get into places inaccessible by other watercraft. And canoes are so quiet that they make it easy to get close to wary fish. For instance, a snook in skinny water is so wary it makes a bonefish look deaf and dumb by comparison, yet often I've been able to get closer than a canoe length to a snook before it spooked. You can fish with almost any canoe, but some are more suitable than others.
