With regard to comfort, we traveled an estimated 36 miles during the week, and there were no issues. The padded seat was comfortable and the adjustable foot rests allowed me to change positions as needed. The big question in my mind was going to be portaging. For frame of reference, I am 44 y.o. and in decent shape. Our trip included three meaningful portgages. 75 rods, 180 rods, and 200 rods. there were a number of short 25 to 35 rod portages. The prototypical kayak portage is over one shoulder. I was able to portage fine, but I have a few comments:
i) I used a short piece of swim noodle on the gunwale to pad my shoulder;
ii) the lower gunwale cut across my hip quite uncomfortably- at first I used my rain gear as a pad to protect my hip, but that was cumbersome. After some trial and error, I figured out that if I placed my rain pants over my belt that the lower gunwale would rest perfectly on my belt resulting in a good weight distribution between my hips and shoulder. However, this only worked on my right side and not left (not sure why). Of course, each person's physical build, and therefore comfort, will be different so it will require trial and error. Once I got it figured out, it was no problem.

I chose the Twin Heron, as my first kayak, because I wanted something that had cargo capacity for a weeklong wilderness trip, yet was stable for me to take my four year old daughter out locally, AND sturdy enough to use for float trips on Missouri rivers and streams. Those requirements, in my mind, ruled out anything Kevlar. With my previous Minnesota II, it was not designed for, and I was unable to use put it to the abuse that comes with floating rivers around here. Coming in at 49 lbs (with front seat) the Twin Heron seemed manageable enough to portage, is made of poly so it is durable for float trips, and has a 500lb capacity. [links]

I will not hesitate to take the Twin Heron to the BWCAW again. Two things I will try though, between now and then: First, I will try to use a portaging yoke for over the head portaging and see how that works; and second, I will find an actual belt hook/clip to support the lower gunwale.

Just purchased this boat in Moncton at the Kayak Exchange. It is low to the water which is good for fishing. This is one of the only positive features which is disapointing when one considers the cost. This boat has no storage compartments so be sure to tie in what you take on your trip. It moves horribly through water. It is heavy and does not track well at all

[DerrickEaton]

For stability, there were never any waves or chop that even slightly created a feeling of instability. Even when on the entry point lake, where there were motors, the wake from the motorboats had little effect. However, it goes without saying that I did quarter into the wake.

The Twin Heron is a truly unique tandem kayak. Featuring the innovative Auto Trim Hull, the Twin Heron is a tandem that performs well when paddled solo. The Auto Trim Hull is designed to prevent the bow from popping up when someone is seated solo in the stern seat. And, if that's not enough, you can completely remove the front seat making it perfect for your dog to ride along or easy access to your hunting or fishing gear. The Twin Heron is a great option for the outdoors family looking for a versatile craft.

Speaking of the seats, the Twin Heron comes with adjustable comfort flex seats in the front and back. Both seats have padding, so you can be sure that you’ll remain comfortable and it also has a support track foot brace system for additional comfort. The kayak also tracks really well for its size, even when used alone and stability isn’t an issue either. The interior of the Twin Heron is very spacious, but it doesn’t have any dry storage hatches, which could be an issue for some anglers. The lack of storage compartments is also a nuisance if you capsize as it only has a rear bungee for securing gear. Those with good do-it-yourself skills might be able to install their own storage options, but there are other fishing kayaks available in this price range that do a better job in this regard.

Tandem fishing kayaks can be very useful if you regularly take along someone when you go angling, but finding the perfect one isn’t easy if you want to use it for solo excursions as well. Either the kayak can be used alone, but it is very cramped when used as a tandem or it is great as a tandem kayak, but way to unwieldy when used alone. The Twin Heron Angler from Old Town offers a solution to this problem with a tandem kayak that is a little more versatile.

[Barnabe]

The Twin Heron Angler is a respectable 13'6” long and 31.5” wide, but only weighs 62 lbs, which really isn’t bad for a tandem kayak. It features a three layer polyethylene constructionist, which is sturdy enough to handle maximum loads in the range of 450-500 lbs. What makes the Twin Heron so unique is its Auto Trim Hull. Basically what it does is prevent the bow from popping up when you take it out alone and sit in the stern seat. In fact, you can even remove the front seat completely if you need extra space for your gear. more

Apart from the lack of dry storage, the Twin Heron is a great tandem kayak and one of the few that are just as useful if you do go out alone. The auto trim hull is definitely its best feature, but overall it is very good. It has paddle holders, six rod mount receivers, two Cannon rod holders as well as cup holders, which is basically everything you need from a kayak for a great day of fishing. more
