Wife and I paddled tandem whitewater in the 70's. Had kids in 80's. Put them in canoes in rivers in 90's and started smallie fishing. Bought a pair of old town loon 120's in later 90's and continued fishing/paddling. 2003 started flyfishing from yaks. 2004 bought a tarpon 120 and continue to chase smallies on a flyrod. Will probably get back to canoe roots with a small solo job shortly. I just hate this stuff.
