A different kind of question .... maybe?

[250savage]

Hi, all, new here. I live in NC, but am originally from WV. I have a fishing/hunting camp in WV on the Greenbrier river between Alderson and Talcott. Anyway, I have a 17 foot Grumman canoe, but getting it in and out of the river near camp is a real pain, even for 2 people. I am looking into getting a kayak for fishing the river, as well as retrieving an occasional goose or duck we may shoot there. I see all sorts of options available: one seater, two seater, sit-in, sit-on, length, width, etc. I need a winter/summer kayak, fairly stable, something my 73 year old mother may be able to ride in thing. Any help?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
