Nothing like a boat to open up tons of new water to fly fish.
A float tube will get you started with a pontoon boat getting you even closer.
Canoes and kayaks are getting more popular by the day around here for fly fishing.
Many of us old timers here started fly fishing from prams in the '70s here in Sacto.
We sold the little 8 and 10 foot tri-hull fiberglass TP&L prams from Los Gatos.
Really cool to take some food with you, tons of tackle and several rods rigged out on a lake for the day.
I guess being able to stand and cast from a wide stable boat is so exciting plus the ability to stand with Polarized glasses on and look down into the clear water and see structure and even fish at times.
I will always love wading but getting out on the water in something that floats can add a new dimention to the fly fishing experience.
Let me know if you need any advice/help in getting a new or used small flat bottom boat from 8 to 16 feel long.
