Thanks, Mark,


You really ought to consider buying a lightweight canoe someday, outfitting it with the 2-anchor system and using it for fly fishing. Fish finder-equipped or not.

(I should have mentioned in my last story that I very rarely use my fish finder. After assessing the likely depth of the water below me by looking at the surrounding land terrain, I normally use my anchor drops to determine depth. The anchor lines are a low-tech foolproof depth finder, which makes it an easy decision to leave the fish finder at home most days.)

If you read the FAOL Panfish and Warm Water columns regularly, then you might as well become the newest fly rodder to join the Flotilla. Canoeists and kayakers, overall, have lots of fun outdoors; more fun than most people do. Just don't ever give up fishing from the bank, the shore, or the dock: sometimes that's all that works.
