I'm money poor, fly fishing gear well off and don't have a kayak from which to fish.  I live in the PNW, across the Puget Sound from Seattle and would like to know what you might have that will get me into my first kayak and what it would cost from my gear collection.
Kayak fishing?  I have no clue, but I'm doing it.

Saw your other post about wanting to buy a yak and figured I'd take a look at this one.  It might be helpful if you detail what fly fishing gear you have to offer.

Sumpnz, great point.  I'm looking to get into a nice sit on top angling kayak for some fly fishing.  What I have in my gear is a wide variety of mid to high end fly rods, single handers, switch and spey rods.  Most are from Sage because they are local, but I have a few others (RPL/XP/TXL/Z Axis), including some customs.  I also have some fiberglass and bamboo rods if those tickle your fancy.  Line weights cover 1wt up to 12wt in single handers and reels covering that range as well.  If you have a species that you are targeting, short of super heavy blue water stuff, I likely have something that could be of use to you. 

You know you are out there, you've got a nice fly fishing kayak being under used and wish you had a specific type or weight of fly rod...send me a message or reply here.  Thanks.

I doubt I could do it in the next few weeks, but I would be interested in maybe a cash purchase of a 10wt salt-water rod and reel.  Also an 8wt salt-water reel.

Won't have a ton to spend, but let me know what you have and the price you'd want.

You might have better luck selling off your stuff for cash and then buying a ride.
