You should give a float tube a try.
The buoyancy will help take the stress off your joints

I personally fish from a canoe in fair weather (+55F water) for safety and comfort reasons but even I will get a sore back from sitting in the canoe for a few hours and I'm a lot younger than you

You know I understand everyone's need to keep their "Hot Spot" to themselves but there are people out there with disability's who cannot go for a hike, climb steep river banks, climb over fallen trees to find a spot that is some what decent that produces a few fish.

It's no fun sitting at home suffering when you could possibly get out for a few hours with a line in the water watching your float going downstream anticipating getting a fish on.... which can certainly take your mind off your physical ailments (and prevents depression creeping in the door)

The Ministry recognizes that there are people out there with disability's who has rights to enjoy fishing too but no-one steps up and says yes you can fish here (where ever) with out going through a Commando training course to put a float in the water, catch something and feel good about yourself.

I suffer from Chronic Pain, was forced to take early retirement (which HUGELY affected my pension) and I have managed to get out a few times & have been quite productive but I have also been out & wondered if I was ever going to make it back to my car because of my lack of knowledge about a certain river & the terrain.

I am also one of these older guys who will take a fold up chair so that I can take a load off when the pain get's a bit much.... it doesn't mean I'm lazy or I have a fishing style that a few people hate.

I'm sure there are more people with disability's out there who can benefit getting out and doing a spot of fishing without impacting your enjoyment of the sport.

Anyway sorry for ranting....

Ronnie

Liger that's awesome, I guess there is always someone worse off than you (me) at least I still have use of my legs & have mobility and it's more of pain issues with me that steadily gets worse.

Good for you guys & your uncle

Hi Fishingnoob, I guess you missed that part... it was in your reply not to give up and maybe try a canoe or a kayak.

Funny you should say that, I was invited to go out with one of the forum members yesterday in his canoe to do a bit of fishing and checking out the river for productive pools etc.

I jumped at the opportunity and we set off early yesterday morning... boy was I happy I wasnt walking as some of the banks were almost vertical, lots of trees huge rocks etc lined the shore. While the river was quite deep in places, it was shallow in others so we were in and out the canoe a lot so that the canoe could get floated down easily. Getting in and out was quite painful after the first few times & I couldn't kneel in the canoe to keep my weight low so that it wouldn't be as tippy etc.

For all it was a great experience for me after about 1/2 way I was hurting pretty bad so I had to lay down under some cedar trees to have a rest & let my pain meds work. Well as luck would have it someone else that was fishing cut through the trees where I was lying wearing a camo jacket & pants and when I said "Hello" I think he may have "crapped" himself when the ground spoke to him LOL
