Hello everyone,

After the depressing sight of western rivers this year down to a trickle and reaching historically low flows, I am looking to broaden my fishing experiences from rafts, float tubes, canoes and (ideally) start getting some more experience in the salt.  I’m in the market for the ever-elusive started kayak that can do a bit of everything from which I’m sure I’ll expand into some more specialized directions.   Thanks to all of you who take the time to post and reply, it sure helps the newbies out. 

Cheers, see you out there!

Welcome!  I work at Outdoor Emporium in Seattle selling kayaks (primarily Hobie's).  If you want to stop down some time, I can walk you through the different types of kayaks for fishing as well as the appropriate safety equipment.  I've been fly fishing and using conventional gear off my kayak for years so can talk to the differentes between those as well depending on your preferences.  I'm out most of this week but will be back on Thursday and work on Thu/Fri/Sun/Mon's.

Welcome! 

I think you picked a good time to start looking....I too have seen deals pop up on the classifieds that were unheard of last year....think those who all rushed out for COVID kayaks are now starting to sell.  I get a kick out of "only used a couple times".
