fishinwrench Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I practiced that for awhile. I was able to get pretty decent at it in a short time, but I was using a 12' closet pole😅 What is the recommended "pole" ?
BilletHead Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Here I have something for someone. Not as old as the poleing instructions but this book is over 20 years old. We sold our mad river canoe about ten years ago. Its a pretty good book and needs a new home.

Gavin Posted December 12, 2020 Author Posted December 12, 2020 Aluminum! Never had any but a 12’ closet rod though.
Al Agnew Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 Yeah, a good pole makes a difference. I got into poling for a bit...my most memorable poling trip was when I tried floating Apple Creek in low water, using only a pole. Didn't even bring a paddle. In a 15 ft. aluminum canoe. It actually worked pretty well; standing up in the center of the canoe, I could pole very well in all the shallow water, and when I came to a spot where there were two rocks I had to go between and there wasn't enough space between them, I could put more weight on one foot and lean the canoe to where the other side was out of the water, and slip through. Only problem was that it made fishing a lot more difficult, because I had to put the pole down to cast. On the other hand, I got to where I could move upstream reasonably well with the pole. But I never was sure it was an advantage over a kayak paddle for going upstream.

snagged in outlet 3 Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 I've been looking at anchor poles for my boat. Like they use in flats fishing.
