sjarrett

hi don i owned a wenonah Fishermen for 3 years. It's a 13 ft royalex 2-man with a 3ft+ beam. It weighs a very managable 55ish lbs. I've traveled to sylvania and remote-camped with it 4 or 5 times. . primarily, i fished a 100 acre lake in Libertyville. it's plus are that it is very portable both on your back and car, very,very stable and tough. the negative is it paddles like a barge. for larger, lake fishing it doesn't track worth rat. staying straight is all but impossible even with 2 paddlers and the wind will blow ya' all over... i spent one day on the flambeau river and i recall it preformed will so look as you didn't have to react quickly. i sold it in 2002 and bought a raddisson/sports pal sportsmen. it's an canadian made, lite-weight all aluminum canoe. it a great design with lots of features and great for lakes but probably not durable enough for a rocky stream..
