Foxfire Canoes Merges Artisan Woodworking With Paddle Sport Performance to Create the Ultimate Fly Fishing Watercraft

Foxfire Canoes, a company based in Fort Worth, Texas, says it has merged artisan woodworking with paddle sport performance to build handcrafted wooden canoes and kayaks aimed at fly-fishing anglers and serious paddlers. The brand argues that wood’s natural properties help reduce noise and vibration, creating a quieter, more “natural” approach than synthetic boats. Foxfire’s designs are intended for quiet entry, stable casting platforms, and confidence in both shallow streams and open lakes. The company says hull shapes optimize tracking and stability, while seating positions and gunwale heights support freedom of movement for casting. Foxfire previously drew national attention after a wooden kayak was featured in issue 283 of Wooden Boat magazine.
