I got the moose part down while working on Isle Royale for a few summers. The walleye part never happened.

For me, my YS Solo (née Wildfire RX) would feel too twitchy with a dog, unless the dog were very well habituated and stayed put right in...

I use a single blade when I paddle tandem, of course, but I'm a double blade convert for solo. There are times when I wish I had a...
