kayak fishing forum

Guys who flyfish from a yak are actually trolling and I have always had a problem with trolling flyfishermen. I thought that flyfishing purists frowned upon that, trolling that is. Maybe I'm wrong. Not trying to piss anyone off with this pos, because I am actually quite interested in buying a yak, but hesitate in going further with any thought of it becasue of what I just mentioned. I would appreciate everyones opinon as far as flyfishing is concerned from a yak. It looks like great fun.

I am no purist, I like to fish with all types of gear, but I do love to fly fish and fishing out of a kayak opens up alot of great options. Gets you to spots that are not accessable by foot and you can fish some awsome rocky structure that is to dangerous for a regular boat. And when your paddling from spot to spot why not troll. Picked up some great fish that way. Trolling flies for salmon has a very long history.
