No canoe, but I did pick up a pontoon this summer and went out after gills and crappie. Like your story, it took a few times out on the water to get the hand of this fly fishing from a boat thing and to get my boat set upo where things were within reach but not in the way. The whole process was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, this morning the outside air temp was 17. Here in Kentucky, that means no fishing for several months.

Thanks for sharing your canoe story.
