The Orvis Guide to Personal Fi
How to choose a personal watercraft — float tube, pontoon boat, kayak, or canoe — that suits an angler's needs and increases success.
The Orvis Guide to Personal Fishing Craft is a book about choosing the boat, not the rod: how a float tube, a pontoon boat, a canoe or a kayak each change the way you fish, and which one actually suits the water you fish.
What Is In It
The subtitle is "Fishing Effectively from Canoes, Kayaks, and Inflatables," and that is the shape of the book — first choosing a craft that suits an angler's needs, then getting the most out of it once you are afloat.

It is an older book and the boats have moved on since 2007, but the thinking about matching a craft to the water has not. We keep a copy on the counter at our Clearwater shop if you want to flip through it first.
