Well - when it comes down to it, if it floats... I've done some river kayaking in my clc 16 and the experience has never been great. Perhaps the rivers have been too small. When I think of river kayaking I usually think in terms of white water. I do know that Pygmies are popular in the Columbia mouth area.
