Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} watercraft recommendations?

I can paddle a canoe pretty well, but some of those stretches on the Rapp are pretty dicey, I'd be concerned about dumping all my fly gear!!  Canoes are pretty heavy too.

Since a SUP doesn't seem to bother your elbow as much, would a small canoe work? Old town makes one that is just under 12 feet long. They also used to make one just under 15 feet that you can sometimes find used.

Greg,

Out of curiosity, how does pedal drive work in class 1 - 3 Rapids.  I scrape bottom a lot on my conventional kayak.

Pedal drive.  It ain't cheap but thats my grail.   It's hands free, which has to be better for your elbow.

Looking for a 1 person boat for fishing local whitewater (primarily the Rapp), Class I-III rapids.  Due to chronic tennis elbow, I'm having a tough time paddling kayaks, so I need to find a replacement.  Other considerations- weight, stability, durability and packable would all be pluses . Considering a Watermaster Kodiak, but they are pricey.  Looking for a SUP for flatwater fishing as they don't bother me as much to paddle.  Any other recommendations?  Thanks!
