The Beauty of Kayak FishingBy Tray Collms

There are many reasons why anglers begin kayak fishing. The difference in cost betweenowning a boat and owning a kayak ranks pretty high for most. Whatever the reason,

there's one benefit that's enjoyed by all kayak fishermen that's often overlooked - thebeautiful scenery surrounding us as we paddle through Louisiana's waterways.

The serenity that Louisiana's natural canvases offer gives you no other choice than tobecome one with nature. Wildlife along the edges of streams, marshes, rivers, and lakescreate the soundtrack to your journey while the aroma of cane fields burning in the distancedraw nearer as the day passes. Daily routines are easily forgotten once a paddle is in handand you're gliding through the water.

Sunrises and sunsets with different hues bouncing off the clouds have become myfavorite pictures to take. But over the years, I've witnessed much of what nature has tooffer such as deer jumping into rivers, gators chomping on crabs and fish with their headspointed toward the sky, and tall trees falling into shallow streams - these events are just afew from some of the adventures that I've enjoyed.Freshwater and saltwater destinations offer different varieties of scenery, but no matterwhich you choose to paddle through you won't be disappointed.
