Took my new kayak out for the first time today and it was a success! Fished a friend's pond near Yadkinville for a couple hours and caught three fish. I figured I get comfortable on a small pond first before maybe taking it out on the Yadkin later this week.
It handled very well!
Used a small popper I tied myself from the 7wt. First fish was a huge shellcracker that fought pretty hard. Caught a decent sized bass too before I finally decided to break out the camera. Finished with the smallish panfish pictured. I probably missed and lost 10x as many fish as I landed, but I guess that's the tradeoff with the fly rod!
Good first time out!
