    Canoe Camp Closed Due to "Vandalism, Transience, and Non-Payment"

    This is mostly just a rant, consider yourselves warned... The only campground on my favorite stretch of river got closed last year right before we had a trip planned. Back then it was temporary, until they figured out how to deal with the issues. We decided to just make it a day trip and try...

    What Size Spinning Rod for Paddlecraft?

    I am not new to fishing in general, but I am new to fishing from a canoe/yak, new to warm water, and I was fly-only for a few years.

One is notciably wider near the top, like an actual otter's tail. The other is more elliptical, with the wide...

    Dumb Idea? Drift Sock for Downstream Propulsion?

    I was wondering if one could use a drift sock to pull a boat downstream. Think of it like a sail but it it catches water instead of wind. Would this work like I imagine it working? I'm in no rush to actually try this, I was just curious what you all think.

    Drilling Into Aluminum Gunwale?

    I have a Clipper canoe with hollow, slightly rounded aluminum gunwales (see image). I have things I want to mount to the gunwale, namely a set of outriggers. Can I drill and bolt/rivet to these without ruining them? Everything in the canoe is mounted on brackets riveted to the hull, nothing...
