Do It Like the Eskimos Do

The phrase "extreme fishing" may be anathema to some, who prefer to stick to the more leisurely methods of hauling in the fruits of America's waterways. Tell that to a kayak angler. Inspired by the example set by the Eskimo hunters of yesteryear, these hardy souls get their ya-yas out harpooning thresher sharks from a canoe powered by a two-sided paddle. Is this the sport for you? Visit kayakfishing.com and read "'Yak Fishing For Threshers" by Dennis Spike. His breathless account of the joys of chasing sharks may just inspire you to forske your fly rod for a more primitive fish-catching instrument. Harpoons away!
