Fly Fishing Boats Come in Every Size for Every Requirement |
|
There are several different types of fly fishing boats to consider
adding to your equipment arsenal. You can choose from inflatable belly
boats, flat bottomed boats, or a simple float tube. Here is a little
more explanation to help you choose the best fly fishing boats for you.
Inflatable belly boats or pontoon boats are very popular as they are
very portable and do a great job for the fly fisherman and make great
fly fishing boats. The belly boat is usually quite small and will often
fit in the trunk of a car. Because it is lighter in weight the belly
boat is much easier to tote around. There are types of belly boats
that have solid bladders too, but these are much heavier. Pontoon
boats are great for moving waters or still water. They are easier to
get in and out of than belly boats which can pitch forward when you are
trying to get out of them.
Flat bottom or skiff fly fishing boats are popular too. They are
sturdy and stable. Some have casting platforms and usually allow for
some dry storage areas. Float tubes are probably the simplest form of
fly fishing boats. Basically it is an inner tube with a seat and back
rest. These are best used for calm waters.
