I leave these shores on Friday and I have Jettisoned my 2 fishing kayaks to firstly make room in the container and secondly that my life has changed and I think a "Canadian"(Ironically!)would be much more suitable for my needs.
So could anyone recommend me what to go for/not to go for? or at least recommend me brands/materials to look out for/avoid and suggested lengths
I would like it manageable for one but would take 2+dogs on a day trip or 1+ gear+dog on a camp trip.
I will be kitting it out for fishing - flyfishing and this will likely be its primary use but I am put off certain fishing specific craft as it seems that this is all they are good for (Old Town Predator) and would be pretty awful as paddling experience. But I bow to your experience if you know better. But I would like a green 'un!
It will be primarily for lakes but I will be looking at getting some tuition for river use and I am a reasonably experienced paddler in one form or another.
I will be looking at a second one as well for wifey later down the line with all the above apart from the double crew as I have flogged her 'Yak too!
Thanks in advance
Marc
