I used to wade the Cohocton near Painted Post. I would catch Fallfish and SMB. I also canoed the Tioga and Chemung R in my Mad River Explorer 17. Now I’m looking for a light weight canoe. Thanks for the video.

Being relatively new to paddling I don't think I would be very comfortable in such a tippy/nervous canoe. I'm very happy with my recent purchase of a Swift Prospector 15 maybe when I'm more experienced I would enjoy a more lively/maneuverable craft. Enjoyed the video thanks for posting

A little type 2 fun for the memories.

Interesting. What drew you to the Peregrine over the NW Solo?

I see you sold the Northwind solo and got this Peregrine. What's the difference between the two boats for you? Is one better for big choppy lakes (asking for a friend who lives near Lake Ontario!).

Awesome video. I really enjoy the sounds of nature and seeing this canoe route.

Man, that Dragonfly seemed tippy. Do they have a reputation? I would have been in way before you……….

Glad to see that you are OK. I haven't dumped in over 30 years and was saying that I am due. I'll be securing everything to my boat. Thanks for sharing.

No shame there Joe...happens to all of us at some point. What's with the guy dragging his lovely canoe on the ground!? Yikes! Cool spot to canoe though....

L I V I N G Joe...... Thanks for the early morning Content..

I can understand the “racing” to seller. These solos are in high demand in most areas. I’ve loved my Wenonah solos, paddle whenever I get the chance.

Two things I notice about your paddling: You are catching the upstream edge of your boat. When you are a little bit sideways and you're broadside to some danger, be it branches, logs, trees, or rocks, you need to lean towards the danger, not away. It is counter intuitive, you have to train yourself to do it. By leaning toward the danger the upstream edge of the boat comes up out of the current and the water lifts the boat and slides under. When you lean upstream, the upstream edge goes down and the water passing under gets more and more of a purchase on your boat, at which point you go over. And then your boat ( and your self) can get pinned or even turned inside out. The force of water is relentless. While your boat is beautiful, it is taking a lot of effort to turn. Try leaning the boat enough to get the ends out of the water, or atleast less deep. This will shorten the waterline and help you spin faster. Sweeping your paddle farther from your boat is a major help too. Bon Voyage

Awesome !

Hi Joe. Nice swim and recovery! I remember watching a video by Canandaigua Lake Trout Unlimited a couple of years ago regarding their stream improvement projects on this river. I commented that what they were doing might be great for trout but hazardous for paddlers (paraphrasing). I don't know if you were encountering their manmade obstacles or not, but I'm glad you survived with only a soaking. 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/AFK-_v0NVeQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared interesting part starts about 31:20. It's nice to know that it's your fellow man and not the beavers and ash borers that are trying to kill you!

⁠I’ve seen the river pretty low around Bath in years past. It also seems to widen as well between Bath and Painted Post

I want to say that the strainers have definitely gotten worse over the last couple of years - particularly about a mile below where you put in. But I don't' think I had to portage at all between Wallace and Kanona a month ago. It's nice to see folks highlight this beautiful stretch of river!

Beautiful !

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'll be taking my new Swift Cruiser on it's maiden voyage in just a few weeks. Looking forward to more videos!

Arrrg.....she's a we bit tippy mate,dang tree limb. Glad you made it out ok,i'm sure it was a bit brisk to say the least.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. 👍37

Wow! These are some incredible views here with perfect lighting. What a great place to camp. You didn't even need to put up a tent for shelter. I'd love to experience all of this. Thank you for sharing! Hopefully we could do a trip like this without getting soaked 🤣

First ever time overboard?!?!? That's VERY impressive!! Especially that it took a Dragonfly to do it! NOTHING to be ashamed of there!!

What fun! Fond memories of canoeing in early Spring waters. Thanks for the realism😯

That boat is a beauty

BRrrr, that's all I got to say...

Good video wish the camera hadn't crapped out there was more excitement to come 🤣 all in all a good trip - could have been warmer 🤣

No possible influence from bourbon the night before? hahahaha

Since I can't get out myself...I'm living vicariously through you. So when you fell in, I did the "ice bucket challenge" and doused myself in ice water. 😅😂

That went from a nice canoe, to absolutely gorgeous ! Nice!

It’s amazing how fast that can happen ! Been there before. Marty’s North Star with the wooden gunnels is sexy ! New sub here !

“Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to. I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but I think you’re moving too fast”. (TLC). Burr!!!

I still have not gotten out on the water yet... .been too many other things happening. At least you were not hurt. Cheers.

The Cohocton is a decent trout stream. (Until someone falls in and scares the fish : ) )

2 real nice canoes! Good on you for leaving the footage....your editing at that point made me laugh. That must have been cold. What a nice tree to save your pack for you. May not have been your day, but it sure beats being at the office. Dragonfly looks good with some scratches! Great post Joe. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. subd & 👍20

Great video! Be nicer to your buddy, the hair gods smiled on him.

That looks pretty amazing with all that wood.

Soon, soon. After this weeks upcoming storm...

Beautiful!

I sure do miss scenes like this!

Hmm. I love my Northwind Northstar solo--but I don't like paddling on both sides of the canoe like you do. I'm accustomed to going straight when soloing a tandem canoe-- and turning right when paddling on the right. The Northstar makes me feel like a beginer all over again. I like to correct with subtle twists of the paddle. I don't like using my paddle as a rudder. I don't like using an obvious J-stroke--never mind a Gooney stroke! I don't like prying off my gunnel either. Right now, I'm mostly using a double bladed paddle--until such time as I get the hang of this boat with a single bladed paddle. On UA-cam--everyone is switch paddling with this boat. This Is not to my taste! Perhaps when the water warms I will master leaning this boat radically. Maybe that will make the difference. I'm beginning to get an inkling of how this boat should be paddled. A long way to go yet!

Hi Joe. Would that happen to be a FoxWorx Roka paddle you're seen with in some of your videos?

There are sure Worse places to spend a Perfect Morning!! Beautiful!!!

Spring can't get here soon enough..... cheers.

Question? Your video is 2 years old and i think you have since parted with your ACC boat. I see you used your Hornbeck alot this past year. I'm looking at buying either a ACC or the Hornbeck within the next couple of month. My question is why you decided to part with the Adirondack and choose the Hornbeck ? Does the Hornbeck paddle better,especially with extra gear or is it more durable (hull wise) ? I've seen alot of negative feedback about the seat being uncomfortable especially on longer paddles. My intention is primarily canoe camping and fishing trips,so i do plan spending alot of hours in my boat. Thanks Joe & happy paddling.

Beautiful canoe!

Very nice looking boat. I think the wood really works great with the color. My Phoenix has aluminum trim and I love the look along with the Blacklite layup. It just works. Wood tends to feel nicer though and is warmer, so I get the desire for it. Not all my videos show the full canoe, but this one does. LOL You will notice I also added the Sitbacker on the seat as well as the foam on the gunwales where my knees tend to rest. Hey, it's the little things. ;) Can't wait to get back on the water come spring. ua-cam.com/video/fQXeEI0Pkqk/v-deo.html
