Anyone have tips for outfitting a kayak for fly fishing?

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!)

Yeah the Scotty fly rod holders didn't seem/or look to be heavy enough to hold the large fly reels I have. I feel ya on the fishing record!! I have caught alot of diffrent salt water species on fly rod, spanish macks, sea trout, cobia, lady fish, blues, stripers, barracuda, snapper etc... and even flounder on fly. I have yet to get the ones I really want permit, bonefish, and tarpon. These species are extremely tough to catch on a fly. Not because they wont take a fly, they will, but they are difficult to stalk on the flats and super spooky. The Florida Keys will challenge you if you are using a fly rod. It will take an experinced fly fisherman and humble him.

Warning!!! If you guys think kayaking is addicting add fly fishing into it. lol lol . Here is some pics of the gear incase anyone is thinking of getting into it. I have heard alot of guys combining Kayak fishing with fly fishing, especially in the Keys. Way more affordable when you can't afford a $30,000 flats boat, or $375 a day guides. I paid that once for a guide that got me into ZERO fish. I did better on my own. Not to mention the guide was talking on his cell phone, and decided to do maintenance on his engine. Lesson learned.

Or you could just sit sideways and strip the line into the water.
