TIPS FOR RIGGING YOUR KAYAK FOR FLY FISHING


For consumers who are interested in fly fishing from a kayak, the first step it to invest in a high-quality, well-known brand. If you have been in the market for some time, you will probably understand the difficulties of choosing just one from the many available models.

Good article! I also like to tie onto my YAK anything than can go overboard. Rod and paddle to get the list started.

Thanks for the nice article. I personally have jumped into this kayak stuff with two feet and love it.

A little tip to add is that I bought YakAttack paddle holders and while they work great for holding the paddle, I also mount them next to me and they make for a great quick rod holder too.

These days you can buy a $200 kayak but there are specialty yaks available that have a very clean desk design that work well for flyfisherman. While I don't own either one, I would love a Jackson Mayfly or a Nucanoe Pursuit. Both would make a wonderful fly fishing specific kayak.

Again, enjoyed the read. I'll have to check out your blog.
