If you've ever dreamed of building a small boat with your own hands, you've come to the right place! Cajun Secret pirogue plans are simple, easy-to-follow instructions which will have you out on the water fishing, hunting and having fun in no time flat. The pirogue (pronounced: "PEE-rhawg") is an amazingly versatile, car-topable, easily constructed craft ideally suited for ultra-shallow backwater river and lake fishing, hunting and exploration. Born in the swamps and bayous of Louisiana, in this realm, the craft has no rival. In concept, somewhere between a kayak and a canoe, no matter where you happen to live, a pirogue will easily and stealthily get you into natural habitats other boaters and sportsmen can only dream about.

 

Authentic Time-tested Design & Surprisingly Easy to Build

 

The easy-to-build construction plan offered here is a modern-day plywood adaptation of an authentic design built and used by Cajuns in Louisiana for well over a hundred years. While retaining the craft's authentic time-tested shape and function, Cajun Secret's easy plywood construction guarantees even beginners and amateur hobbyists a highly rewarding building experience and beautiful boat.  

 

The Cajun Philosophy: Keep it Simple

 

A well-known fact, Cajuns are among the most remarkable outdoorsmen on the planet — clever, crafty and highly resourceful. Whether for their livelihood or sport, these guys have an uncanny aptitude for fishing and hunting — but little time or patience for fiddling around with complicated gear or projects. Down-to-earth minimalists, they believe in keeping things simple, inexpensive and easy as possible. That's why they love pirogues! If you can build a box... you can build a pirogue.
