Nice fishing and that's some skill to fly fishing sitting in a kayak like that in those weeds. Some water in the boat isn't a big deal. I do wonder though is that the 9.5 boat or a longer one? I've never taking on water like that on a steep incline with my heritage featherlite but maybe that is because my boat is the short heritage kayak?

it's not if you're gonna get wet but when. getting it out of the way makes it less dramatic the next time, and the next.......and probably the next

... getting it out of the way makes it less dramatic the next time... The second time out fishing in my SOT, I was turning around in the seat and got catapulted into the river. Even holding onto the yak, I sank past my knees in the mud. It took forever to work my way to the bank through that muck. I'm seriously hoping there's no next time.

Well I made my t thru the second round with out getting wet. I went fishless from the yak but once I got out I caught 4 whites on my 2wt fly rod, while watching the minnow clunkers pull out 3 limits in under an hour.

Sounds like some good lessons learned...nothing wrong with that. Congrats on sliming the new yak.
