I was thinking of a fishing kayak, the area I am going to be fishing is a stillwater lake. For this reason, I then wonder about a coracle rather than a kayak. They look cozy and nice, and are supposed to be easy to handle and pretty stable. They look great to fish from.
Thoughts?
Is there a modern version or similar?
Learn from the Novgorod, a circular ship is not a good idea

The enterprise would disagree, but go on?
I think it looks a very stable little seat platform for lake fishing, imagine drifting along in that with a fly rod, casting all round

Idk the guys in the fishing general have decent kayak knowledge so ask them also

The whole "worst ship ever" is just a myth.

They're perfectly fine as long as you know how to handle one, which can be said for anything. Go for it.

Is there a modern equivalent or similar small boat? I love how portable these seem. I've been looking to buy one but they seem to be scarce to unavailable.
I may make one, like pic related.

I own and made one. If you get a small trolling motor either electric or gas. They are pretty intresting. But that's it. If you where going to float down stream. Like tubing they are great for that. But being on a lake in one isnt going to be fun. And considering you're gonna have to build one anyway. Build a skin on frame canoe or kayak instead.

This is what I was going to say. If you want a coracle, build one don't buy it (skin on frame is easy and cheap). But if you're going to go through the effort of building a boat a kayak is more practical.
