Sometimes getting to the best fishing takes a little bit of creative thinking. Walk-and-wade anglers can hike further from the parking area. Drift boat and rafters can sometimes choose waters with big whitewater or secluded canyons. Anglers who enjoy fishing lakes and stillwaters may want to consider fishing from a kayak. Kayaks can get you to places where other boats can't. Their sleek profile allows you maximum stealth as you approach fish and discover more places to fish near you. Fly fishing from a kayak can be a unique and enjoyable experience. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your time on the water.
Practice your casting before you go. Spend time practicing your casting skills from a seated position to adjust to the kayak's movement. Practice precision casting, especially in tight spaces like mangroves or around structures. Use sidearm casts to avoid hitting the kayak and to minimize splash.
Make sure you have your kayak set up dialed. Choose a stable kayak, as you'll want to stand up while casting. Look for models specifically designed for fishing. Organize your gear in a way that keeps it accessible. Use tackle boxes and gear bags to prevent clutter. Consider a small anchor or stakeout pole to hold your position while casting.
Kayaks offer a lot of stealth, be sure to maximize it. Paddle quietly to avoid spooking fish. Use a kayak paddle or oars that make minimal noise. Use the current to your advantage for a natural presentation of your flies.
Discover the big fish that lurk in shallow waters. Focus on shallow waters where fish are likely to be feeding. Look for areas around rocks, submerged logs, and weed beds.
Safety first. At all times. Kayaks can easily flip and that means trouble. Always wear a personal flotation device while kayaking. Keep an eye on changing weather conditions and be prepared to return to shore if necessary.
