Kayak Fly Fishing / Re: Fly Fishing shops / clubs
« on: November 14, 2017, 07:57:40 AM »
North bay we have Russian River FlyCasters.
They maintain the fly casting pond at Dan Galvin Park in Santa Rosa. There are public fly casting lessons (free!!!!) all year round. Sat AM's in the winter and Thurs after work in the summer.

Our local fly shop is Outdoor Pro Shop in Cotati. They've got about 1,000 sf dedicated to flies but the majority of the shop is bass, salmon, crab

Kayak Fly Fishing / Re: How important is it...
« on: November 11, 2017, 03:33:31 PM »
Yeah. Ok got it.
I went to Clavey today in Petaluma and looked at some of theirs.
The most stripped one I saw that would work in the OT Predator MX. The only thing it has is foot pegs. I was thinking I could make a shroud for them.
Or just bring a stripping basket...  I'm sure there's a solution. And there's no perfect boat for every situation.
The advice about being aware of your surrounding is well heeded. I've fouled a lot of casts by not heeding that single rule. You can double haul till the cows come home but if you're standing on your line...

Kayak Fly Fishing / How important is it...
« on: November 10, 2017, 09:54:47 AM »
Ok. I'm new here. I don't own a boat. I'm here for advice before I plunk the cash on one.
So, in looking at all the boats I could afford, and talking to some friends that have fly fished out of yaks before, I have a question. How hard is line control to manage on a kayak in really life?
I'm really interested in the Jackson Mayfly, but it's kinda spendy.  And I am having trouble finding folks that actually use them and not just guys on YouTube regurgitating the PR lines from the brochure.
I'm not trying to ask 'what's the best kayak for me' cause I know there's too many variables, but how hard is fly line management on your decks and what are some of the things you guys are doing to keep a snag free existence.
We all know how much it sucks to blow a cast and look down and your line is wrapped around the ____________.

Introductions / Here goes
« on: November 08, 2017, 07:08:02 PM »
So,
My name is Fritz.
I live Santa Rosa. I fly fish almost exclusively, around sonoma county, the delta, kinda have a new crush on San Luis. She's purty.
I'd like to do more in the salt. But.
There's always a but.  I've got a float tube. And I ain't floating my soft side out at Bodega Head.
So, I'm in the market for learning the kayak business.
I'm here to learn what I can before I buy and then soak up what I can once I've got a good boat.  I'm stoked to get something that I can cover more water in. Mostly looking at bass fishing cause that's what interests me most.
