Funny thing about the pirogue first time in one and it does feel a little tippy But the more you use it the more stable it seems to get.

Pirogue stability. A longer boat is a lot more stable and a pirogue is designed to be a stable platform for fishing poling the boat around standing in it. Dont understand it but it works. It has opened up a whole new set of places to fish that were unreachable before.

So here we go. The ideal boat for this river is clearly a pirogue. The qualifications of quick and cheap pirogue.

As for stability be it the user or physics you are limited to movement in the pirogue and you pretty much have to paddle with your legs in a bent position and spread apart. The flat bottom provides excellent primary stability and can carry much weight while drafting little water. The pirogue is believe it or not lighter than the Ultimate 12.

PEE-rhawg is an amazingly versatile car-topable easily constructed craft ideally suited for ultra-shallow backwater river and lake fishing hunting and exploration. This can result in more. Most 1 man boats are around 11 or 12 long.

It is a ton of fun to use because it is so easy to portage when fishing small Ozark creeks here in Missouri. A Simple Measure for Estimating. Traditional pirogues are great simple boats to but they do have a some draw backs.

There is a reason and it has to do with stability not carrying capacity. It is an excellent complement to my heavy aluminum canoe. Its comfortable with 350lbs.
