My Mad River Explorer has done several thousand kilometers of river, caught thousands of fish, and hauled a couple metric tons of moose and elk meat out of the bush. Mine is Royalex but I think they make them in Kevlar too.
IMO if you're main intended use for the canoe is fishing then I would choose a design that leans more towards recreational lines. NOT some fat waisted flat bottomed Coleman type junk, but IMO all around canoes like the Explorer or the Nova Craft Prospector are a better craft for fishing than higher performance canoes like the Clipper Tripper.
Most companies make canoes that will make good fishing craft, as well as longer trips and hunting. Do your research, and figure out what type of lines you are looking for.
