Nice rig, the fly rod is noted. This maybe a dumb question since I have not fly fished. Can you effectively cast with that full length fly rod while sitting in the yak?

[QUOTE=WestEndAngler;112841]Nice, here' mine.

that is a comfy looking seat there,Coe

I'm a newby to the Kayak world, so I'd rather check out the rigs, to get some pointers..

I'll post up later

I can... I learned on the rivers in Arkansas and Colorado then developed my own style off the dock in Galveston. My largest 3 trout (30", 31" & 33") have all been caught on fly off the dock

I really prefer to be slightly more elevated when casting (wading) so I can see the fish take the fly but no worries casting in the yak and I do it all the time.

Rigged to hunt

So as you can see I don't have much rigging. Milk crate in the back, and I built a PVC flushmount extender to keep my reels further away from the splashing water.

That is good enough for me, and I just take whatever I need for whatever I am doing.

Nice. Don't mount your PVC to low like I did...... It's a real pain to put your pole behind you

[Puckett]

Yea I found that out the hard way, thanks, it has been revised since then.

I mentioned in MarkoChavs other thread about getting a narrower crate or basket from Big Lots that will fit more snug and lower in the hold. You'll find that reducing your profile to the wind will make a difference, both paddling and drifting.

havent been able to find anything smaller than that normal crate =/

Cut the sides off, trim to desired size, and use heavier zip ties to tie it back together. It won't be the prettiest but it will be very functional.
