I have flyfished out of my Keowee Aquaterra kayak - and it is darn hard to cast out of. I have thought about adding some of those air bag outriggers. Otherwise a great way to enjoy the estuary environment in a very peaceful and intimate way.

I'm trying to figure out how well I can flycast w/o tipping my boat over but I guess I just have to get out and try it. I just picked up Raymond's book and have started reading it. I also found a book, haven't bought it yet, called "Flyfishing the Pacific Inshore" that is about all forms of flyfishing on the coast from San Diego thru BC.

A lot of other books out ther are very East-Coast oriented, so be careful. You also want to get the Se-Run Cutthrout book by someone on the list here (les Johnson? -- i forget & I am sorry) as that is excellent as well for what you want to do. BTW, I would love to try with you sometime if you have need for a partner. dan --- Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know most if not all say to fish the beaches at an hour prior to an hour > after high tide.
