{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak rigging for fly fishing

Cameron -

This topic will prove itself to be very personalized.  Seems like every kayaker will have their own recommendations.  But the ability for any of the mods you may do to be flexible is pretty key - what I mean by this is instead of installing a fixed accessory point, try installing one of the newly released track bars.  You can slide the mount in the track and move it around giving you different options based on what you want to carry.  This is especially helpful if you are not sure what you want to do up front.  Do a google search on fishing kayak accessories and you'll see examples of the tracks and how people use them.

A lot of the forum members also have kayaks and have posted pictures of their setup here on the forum.

I sold my kayak last year and have been fishing off a standup paddleboard (Hooked SUP) - I like the height advantage and am just more used to paddling a SUP than a kayak.  Chris S on this forum also has one.  Fish catching machines!!!

Well I finally got my kayak today and wanted to see if the group had any suggestions about rigging it up for fly fishing. It is an old town vapor 12xt. It is a sit in but I got it on trade so I know the Simons are ideal but I am going to start here. I was thinking about putting some pontoons to make it stable and possibly a belly bar. Any suggestions on those or any other rigging ideas? The link below is to pics incase that will help for suggestions. Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thank you in advance!
