Summer might be the most popular time to get out on the water in a paddling vessel, but Autumn is arguably the most beautiful. Trees explode with color in northern regions, and the South comes alive thanks to cooler temperatures.

Finding the best fishing canoe starts by knowing which type of fishing canoe you prefer. This guide will breakdown the best fishing canoes into the best overall, square stern, solo, and tandem fishing canoes.

When paddling in the autumn make sure you wear multiple layers including an insulating middle layer and a water and wind-resistant outer layer. Waterproof shoes are critical. Avoid wearing cotton and other materials that don’t dry quickly. Remember to dress for the water temperature as well as the air temperature. Even in the fall, make sure you remember sun protection in the form of sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.
