From a fellow yak flyfishers........nice story and pictures.
Everyone has ideas on rod holders and what they like or don't. Always a good idea to fish them raw a few times and think what would be handy.
For me and my freshwater lake & river fishing I put 3 Scotty rod holders on each of my 3 yaks. I don't need them all the time........so I just leave them out of the base when not in use.
Funny this yak story came up because I was just asked my oppionion on yaks for flyfishing now that I have used them for that 4-5 years. "For personal watercraft they do allot of things right and few wrong. It's not a 16' fishing boat on a lake, a jet sled, or drift boat. They are simpler, less time consumeing, more fun and yes I still catch just as many fish.........maybe more when I throw in paddle trolling"
