I realize most here on these forums fish conventionally. But I wanted to throw out the idea of kayak fly fishing tournaments. I fish both conventional and fly but prefer fly most of the time. I get this probably will not garner much interest but throwing it out there. I realize there are not a ton of fly fishers here.

I love catching bluegills on a dry fly but never thought about a tournament.

You just missed one.

I know...I was on vacation

i mostly fish with conventional gear, but occasionally fly from the yak. I'd be interested in participating if you get enough interest.

I just got my kayak. Have fished 3 times out of it. I've done a little bit a fly fishing, but never out of a yak. I probably would be lucky to catch anything with a fly rod, but I might be game.

The Lydia Ann Flymasters in Aransas Pass is a fly only tournament. They have a powerboat division and a kayak division. It was reset this year fromJuly 19th to September 20th, due to a scheduling conflict; as soon as all of the details are worked out their website will be back up. The participants all love it. Check it out......

I'd fish in one. That lydia ann tournament sounds like a good time.

I have always wanted to try fly fishing, but i can't find a decent setup that won't cost me a small fortune.

Try BP they have some decent combos

Getting a significant group of fly-kayak/canoe anglers together in one place on the same weekend is your biggest challenge in TX. It could be done with a turnout of up to 100 boats (maybe), but it would take a lot of lead time and careful prep, plus cooperation from a few key players.

I'd be willing to help IF it's a charity event that raises money for AFFI, Inc. We need to fund a couple of accessible angling programs here in ETX.
