If you flyfish and you don't have a kayak, you are missing out. It takes me about 10 minutes to get my kayak ready to fish if I put the battery and the depth finder in. That is 10 minutes well spent. I can access most any area I want to fish. Yes I could get the big boat out, but that would mean missing out on the peace and tranquility of fishing from my kayak.( no fuss,no bother)
