Welcome aboard both to FAOL and to flyfishing from a kayak. I have been fly fishing extensively from my kayak (hard shell not inflatable) and it is a great way to fish. You can move nice a quiet and they are very stable. Just about the only drawback I've found is that they tend to get blown around by the winds fairly easily. This may even be more true for the inflatable kayaks. To slow down the drift, get about 8 inches of large chain and tie it to a floating nylon anchor rope. This will slow you down when the wind blows you around and yet it doesn't get stuck easily. To change it to an anchor, just clip on another 18 inches of chain with a carabiner and it makes a great anchor. Let us know how it works out for you.

Take care and welcome.
