Fly Fishing From A Yak?

[falkners]

I have both sit inside and sit on tops that I flyfish from and it is much easier to flyfish from my sit on top (Tarpon160). The act of casting and stripping is much easier from the higher position without interference from the gunwales. Casting distance is usually not a factor since you can usually sneak up close to your quarry.

I'm 5''10 150. Was thinking about a Tarpon. Do any of you guys fish solo out of a 2 person? Is it easy enough to get around, or too much for one person?

I am thinking about the same thing. I was looking at the Native Ultimate at the Maralbrough Fly show. The shop showing them had some real good deals, but I want to try it first. There was also the Freedom Hawk. That is the one the back opens up like pontoons to make it super stable. I like to keep my stuff simple. ALways found the simpler I keep my gear the better it works.

I'm 5'6" and 175 pounds and the Tarpon t 120 (12 ft sit on top) is perfect for me - been using it for four years now, almost exclusively fly fishing. SOTs especially the way to go if you want to hop in and out to wade the flats.

My view of two person kayaks is that yoyu would be infinitely better off to get a second one seater than to struggle with two aboard. Very different from canoes.
