I have a Ride 135 and have fished the hell out of it for the last two years and it is a superb fishing kayak. Many folks love the 115 as it is just a bit lighter, and quicker handling in streams than the 135. I stand and fly fish all the time in mine, you have to really WORK to go far enough over to fall. I'm sure you'll be very happy. I've fished mine in water varying from the Yellow Breeches (yes, it is a very popular kayaking stream) to miles offshore in Lake Erie. I have total confidence in my boat.
