Oar locks on canoe
Oar locks on canoe
I recently saw a picture of a fishing guide in his canoe and the canoe had oars. I was hit with an an idea that I should do the same, making fishing with my kids in my canoe a lot easier. Also appears to allow better boat control while flyfishing and drifting some local MN rivers. Anybody have any experieince with this. Will metal oar mounts attached right to the wood gunnels of my strip built canoe do the trick. I was thinking of putting a center seat, set back couple of feet from the yoke, this seems like the best position for paddling the canoe with oars. The canoe is a 16' Whitewater out of Gilpatricks book and has a 40" beam.
