Sweet new boat! What make/model? I just bought a Dagger Blackwater 11.5 and have had it out on Bonney lake 3 weeks ago and Upper Priest last weekend. Fishing at Upper Priest was good, buddy caught a 4lb mack on his fly rod from his Dagger kayak. It was a true Nantucket sleigh-ride :lol4:

Thanks! The orange boat is a Perception Carolina 14 and the yellow is a 15ft Ocean Kayak Prowler "Angler Edition". I'm pretty stoked for a summer of fishing, it will be interesting the first time I hook into a larger salmon! :yike:
