fresnoflyman,

Check out the paddling section of the bulletin board. There are several people there that fish from kayaks. I don't have one, but I have fished from a canoe. So far we've never flipped it, at least not by accident. We always turn it and point into the wake of a passing boat without problem, but if the wake was to hit you in the side I think you'd flip pronto.

hope that helps,
