It's a lot of fun. . .

But you'll learn that you need adjustments.

The scotty mount rod-holders I have don't work with my fly rod since there just isn't enough but-end to slide into a rod holder. Which left me few options other than breaking it down when not in use.

Iceman suggested to me last year via this site, that sitting with legs over the side so that I would be able to false cast w/o snagging up on kayak accessories (rods, mounts, seat, etc.) It works.

My personal experience: The fly rod is more productive than a sibiki for catching nice sized bait fish.

Nothing like an ocean fish on a fly-rod. They fight hard and produce a lot of bend, I could not imagine catching YT or WSB on a fly-rod (for the record not caught them on a conventional rod either!)
