good points of a canoe and kayak, which means you stay dryer, it’s easier to get into than a kayak being less wind affected, and it’s simpler to paddle with a kayak paddle than a canoe. The swiss army knife of paddle craft!
Fifth and possibly most important is comfort. It’s nice to sit in a pack canoe. The seating position is in- herently more comfortable than a kayak because you have your butt above your feet.
This means you can shift your feet around as you’re paddling along and take a little weight off your poor long-suffering backside. I know you know what I mean by this. Seating options are usually fairly abundant in pack boats and it’s not hard to find one that’s just right.
Being roomier also means, you can shift around more in the pack canoe while you’re fishing and avoid sitting in the same position all day. Pack canoes are also very easy to fit out, with little effort you can have your craft configured with all the modern conveniences to make your time on the water very comfortable.
I hope your appetite is whetted to give these little boats a go, because I believe they are worth considering for your next fishing rig. If you’re looking for more information on pack canoes, we recommend look- ing at offerings from Wenonah Ca- noe, Old Town Canoe, Swift Canoe, or closer to home One Tree Canoe Company. Happy paddling!
