I fish it a couple of times a season in a 12ft Hobie kayak - usually stick around Home Bay and Rainbow Alley, but have gone 5 or 6 kms down lake and back on a windless day. The tour boat wakes bob you up & down a bit, but I've never had a problem - But then I've stayed off the water if it looks nasty.
The guides in their big freighter canoes don't have much of a choice - the client's paid for a trip, and those big, heavy, beautiful canoes can handle some pretty rough stuff.
