I want to get a canoe for fly fishing lakes and float trips. But had some questions (Where has Jake been, haven't seen him around in a bit). Mostly, what should I look for in a canoe. I have no real knowledge about them so I'm not quite sure what to get.
Is there a canoe that would do well in still water and moving water, or are we talking about two different beasts here? Is it even practical to have these on float trips on places like the D or am I flirting with disaster potentially?
Any info would be great. I found a 15 foot Coleman on craigslist for about 200 and that seems to be as good of a deal as any that I've seen and I'm trying to figure out weather or not to pick it up.
