The only times I ever used a canoe alone, ohter times have been on two to a boat float trips, was trapping. I used to trap all winter out of a canoe. Make 8 mile stretches to float. I got pretty good at doing it myself, even in fast water, but I had up to 120 traps, the days catch and a bucket of bait and one of dry clothes in there for weight.
It got hairy a few times, but it was great practice in handling a canoe. Havent done hardly any fishing out of one, but I would say it would be excellent in the right situation....
