Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak fly rod?

been said several times but if you're using an anchor, especially in moving water -- have a sharp/capable knife at the ready.  some of the time i'm able to dive down and recover, but don't build up an emotional attachment especially on the upper potomac. 

having used a variety of techniques i usually bring an anchor for the deep holes, but i prefer clipping the canoe to my belt or around my shoulder as i wade. this time of year the weed beds also make pretty good temp anchors.

You talking about my yak pic?  It's a Feelfree Moken 14 but with the camp job it could be mistaken for a Jackson.  It is much awesome.  It's made for blue water, and I take it about once/week around Deer Island, Joppa Flats, Nahant, and pretty much all around the Noahth Shoah.  I went out into Boston Harbor channel and fished with the serious boats once, but fighting the rip was tough, and even with all the "don't crush me Me Powerboater" gear on, it's a little intimidating.

Gene, LOL on the young man's game comment.  I don't combine them.  

I like this thread!  I'm learning a lot from the other guys.  That Jackson kayak pic in one of the posts was pretty SICK!   I want one. Who's boat is that?  It looks like a fish'n machine.
