Gene, yes, the Sea Eagle Foldcat I have does get blown around a lot by the wind. As does the inflatable kayak I own, Art. Nevertheless, I think they are superior options because the wind is the biggest downside, followed by set up time, whereas the real advantage is in their ease of storage. My Foldcat reduces down to a small enough size to fit in the back of my Mazda3 with the seat folded down, which is a midsize non-hatchback sedan. And it doesn't take up all that much room in the basement of my good friend who is graciously storing it for me. As for the kayak, it deflates so small i can just keep it in my trunk for long periods of time because it lies virtually flat. The stuff in the kayak setup that takes up more room is the paddle.
-- Plus, once it's all setup, the foldcat is stable enough for two guys to stand up and fish. And it has bass boat seats that swivel around 360 degrees. So it's a pretty sweet little vessel to have in my fleet.
Personally, I don't fly fish out of kayaks anymore. The nucanoe looks like it would be an exception, though. The major problem is that the line bunches up in your lap and gets caught on things. I'll use the kayak as transportation or if I'm spin fishing, but its just too much of a pain to fly fish and navigate in it.
