Canoe Fishing

Canoe fishing has blown over in recent years from the USA where it is extremely popular. In Europe too, more and more anglers seem to be discovering the advantages of fishing from a canoe. And those are multiple, canoes offer many advantages on the water. Because they feel at home in very shallow water, there are almost no restrictions in your range. They offer unparalleled access to the most beautiful and peaceful pieces of nature (and the fish of course). With a canoe you can fish in places that are inaccessible with traditional boats and that are also out of reach when you’re casting from the river bank.

And then there’s the simplicity and intimacy that canoe fishing offers. In our fast paced world, we often feel cut off from nature and therefore long for that temporary escape. As fishermen, we achieve this on the water, where the fishing meets both our sporting and mental needs. These elements are reinforced in a canoe. Because of the proximity to the water you experience fishing in a completely different way.

Technology

Cedar and glass fabric-epoxy

This fishing canoe is built with western red cedar and laminated with glass fabric and epoxy. The laminate ensures that the wood is sandwiched and never comes into contact with water. In addition, it provides extreme stiffness which makes the canoe very efficient to be paddled. The boat is finished with high or satin gloss marine varnish with an excellent UV-blocker.

Canoe maintenance

Our canoes are very strong and stiff. Normal wear will occur when used normally. We recommend checking the canoe regularly and retouch any scratches in the varnish. In the unlikely event the epoxy laminate gets damaged, it should be repaired within reasonable time to prevent water seeping into the wood. The gunwales should be oiled three to four times a year.
