BillB Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just returned from our annual camping trip. This year was to Murtle Lake in British Columbia, Canada. Murtle is the largest paddle only lake in North America. The lake has native Rainbow and Kokanee trout. The rainbow get quite large and provide an excellent fishing experience. Some cannot be brought to the surface with light tackle. We carry 110 to 120 pounds of gear in the boat and the Moccasin 14 handles the load very well. We have rip-stop nylon skirts that cover 2/3 of the boat and help keep out rain and splashes. We prefer to set up a base camp and do day trips fishing and exploring. We also do the Bowron Canoe Circuit in British Columbia, which is a world class 70 mile loop through lakes, rivers and portages. This trip involves making/breaking camp everyday in order to complete the circuit. It is easy to cover 10 miles a day to complete the circuit in 7-8 days. Highly recommend this boat, it has never failed to deliver us safe and sound to our destination. BillB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 BillB, thanks for posting tour trip report. This page has been mighty lonesome. Hope to see more of your adventures. By-the-way, I've built and used the Moccasin 12' and 15'-6". I was very pleased with both. The 14' isn't listed on the B&B website yet, but Alan has a video on the kit.
