I spend most of my time on small rivers and big creeks such as the Cahaba River and Choccolocco Creek. I may get 10 to 15 days a year in the ocean or Mobile Bay areas. This boat's tracking is lowsy at best. Great job with the pics. Thanks a million. I spend most of my time on small rivers and big creeks such as the Cahaba River and Choccolocco Creek.

I don't know what kind of paddling you do but I installed the rudder for fly fishing on moving rivers and Striper fishing on the flats. It is just the ticket for both! The kayak really tracks well with the rudder down and you can correct for wind easily. But it really pays off when I am drifting with the current fishing the banks. I can keep the kayak oriented the way I want without having to get in a paddle stroke here or there. The rudder itself is very well made and has not had any problems. Rick, I love it.

I have the same boat and really love it but it definitely needs a rudder. I would love to know what your thoughts on the Native rudder after paddling with it for a while. Thanks for the article.
