{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Native watercraft slayer 14.5

I worked for a Native dealer all though high school and college - their boats are, as a complete line, the best recreational kayaks out in my opinion. I paddled a Slayer for a hot minute and I liked it enough to buy it if I was in the market for a new fishing kayak. Not as dry as an Ultimate, but much easier to stand up in than a Ride.

I don't have experience with that kayak specifically but it look like it would be a great fly fishing platform.  I have a Jackson coosa which looks very similar to it, the coosa is great on the river but terrible in open water.  It has a lot of rocker to it so it turns well but gets blown around in the wind.  So I also bought a wilderness systems commander and it does a lot better on large open bodies of water.  Its faster and paddles a lot straighter.  The slayer looks like it has the best of both worlds.  Nice flat standing platform which I think is a must for fly fishing.  I strongly suggest going out and paddling one before you buy it.  try to find a local dealer having a demo day or try one of the kayak shops on the bay in Annapolis.
