: I flyfish also, but not from my kayak. I think a boat that is fun to paddle
: would be too unstable to cast from. Have you considered using the paddle
: and rescue float as an outrigger for stability?
: I plan to get a plastic boat for the rivers this summer, but just use it to
: get to places to fish, then get out and wade the river.

Casting from the boat will be done in lakes, in rivers it will (normally be used to get around on the river). The paddle/rescue float is an idea that I will probably try, depending on the stability of my boat.

Where do you typically fish?
