I want to fly and float fish from my canoe but i think the back cast might tip us and the pin might get tricky sitting down with a 13 ft pole lol. So i would like to look into outriggers, homemade formulas or store bought ones. Any links or info is appreciated.

why not use a shorter and lighter rod and cast back to front t=not side to side, i fish from canoes a lot and dont have a prob

Not only that but i get sore after a few hours and my casting isn't as far or accurate as standing up.

I have seen a couple people use those outrigging boards from thier canoes.

 

So they set thier bait at a depth and leave the float there as they paddle away. Success rate? Not sure of.

Not that kind of outrigger lol. Im talking about a stabilizer so that i can stand up.

I know for kayaks at Sail they sell "portable pontoons" to attach to them so that you can stand up for fly fishing purposes or what not.

If you Google "home made canoe outriggers" there are many youtube instructional videos.
