Cameron, When you set up your kayak, rember that fly line finds a way to get tangled on everything in a kayak. Keep it simple and don't over do what you put on. I fish our of a wilderness pungo, it has a dashboard that I love and I attatced a rod holder to it and have a few places where I can hang some things. My anchor is the good old Potomac river / fletchers rock. I've had to cut away from two anchors over the years and I decided if a rock is good enough for Fletchers, its good enough for me. The rock is great and If I have to cut loose I don't feel so bad about it. I can also paddle over to shore and get another. You must carry a knife with you , ready to cut away. There are several good you tube videoes on rigging an anchor trolley. Not hard to do. Good luck and let me know I will go out with you sometime.

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!
