got a yak for Father's day

[wet fly guy]

Wifey got me a yak for fathers day.
It's about 10' long yellow Blast model.
My question --is this a usable fishin boat?
How to attach rod to boat?

And the life vest? You get that too? We want you around here, and for your family, for a long, long time, so if you don't have a new one to go with your beautiful yellow yak, get one, AND USE IT!!!!

I use a small 10' kayak for the twisty rivers around Northwest Arkansas. They are very manuverable and work great for fishing. You can mount a rod holder easily, which I have done but I often just lay the pole over one leg and under the other - sticking out the side when trolling. Normally I'm just drifting and casting. Have fun!

Scotty makes a variety of mounts for rod holders that work fine on kayaks. Depends a bit on what you like (and where on the yak you want the rod holder).

I usually have one behind where I sit to hold my rod while I'm moving from place to place or to hold a second rod (you can mount more than one rod holder).

Very easy to mount.
