Ben’s Fly Fishing W Kayak - Pennsylvania
Ben is a fly fisherman from Pennsylvania who opted for the W kayak.
In a new review he tells about the things he’s doing with his new 2008 W kayak, and about the way he rigged it to be a perfect fly fishing boat.
Among a lot of interesting things Ben has to say about his W kayak fly fishing experience, this is what struck me the most -“I’m loving the W– after 12 hours in it in a short period my back still feels good, although I suffer from chronic back issues. After 8 hours Friday I knew when to quit, when it started getting tired.”
Anyone who’s suffered from chronic back pain could appreciate this.

It’s an excellent review. I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to spend that much time in a kayak unless it’s a W

I don’t think it’s possible either because your back and legs would torture you if you don’t get out and stand up.

To the best of my knowledge the w is the only fishing kayak that enables fly fishing standing without having to struggle with balancing issues and without falling overboard if you lose balance, and it’s also the only kayak out there that gives you a comfort level you normally get when you fish from a real boat.
