Looking for the Ultimate
Still Water Fly Fishing Boat?
Our friend Joe Cunningham has designed the
best one-man fly-fishing boat for still water.
The Cunningham Chironomid is a trimaran boat, built around a canoe hull. Because of this It has the light weight and ease of movement through the water of a canoe, but with stability that allows the angler to stand while fishing. It is propelled by oars, rather than a
paddle and has the other things lake fly fishers
need, like a rod rack and double anchors. The boat is easily loaded on a roof-rack by one person.
If you fish lakes, you need to see this boat.
