Fly Fishing from Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dgarland10 · 04-15-2019, 08:24 AM

Good morning! Just bought a Hobie Outback with Mirage Drive, not the 180, and was looking for some information. I have been fishing the local harbors from my Outcast Pontoon which works great, but am hoping to use the Kayak to cover more and bigger water. Took the kayak out last week in Alamitos Bay to fish from it and had a bit of a harder time than I expected. Looking for advice on:

1) how to maintain position in an area I want to fish. The fins while fishing from my pontoon did much more than I thought they did!

2) what rod holders do you recommend for fly rod?

3) what do you guys do with fly line as you are stripping in?

Any other advice or info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

David
