What's the weight of the canoe?
my new canoe is 85lbs....the old one is 65lbs
Hey- how is it poling by yourself? Or do you just paddle when you are solo?
can you describe what you do when you transition from pole to rod?
poling by myself is how I do it...I dont even take a paddle...if the water is too deep I stand and windmill paddle with the pushpole...the pushpole is 14ft
when I have clients I will stand on the back seat to be up high and out of the way but I can do it solo as well but tend to stand about middle and even towards the front when facing the wind
when I spot a fish I move in for the shot and when I am about 5 seconds from the spot or fish I will put the pushpole down with the cleat under the front seat and the pole will lay across the crossbar...in the same motion I come up with the rod in hand and line already stripped out...from there I throw the fly to my left and fire the rod straight up over my right shoulder...this is loading the rod over my head instead of false casting and then direct my shot with the downstroke...this is shooting the cast and no false cast...there is no time to false cast plus it scares the fish...total time it takes me is 3 seconds from spotting the fish to actual cast
