Fishing from the Jackson Mayfly is not a challenge but an adventure. Some days I just take the Mayfly out for just a standard fishing trip with a spinning rod or a bait caster for either a saltwater species or a freshwater species. When I decide the adventure will be...

Those that like to fly fish will understand the addiction to sight fishing. It’s the hunt that we love. There’s something exciting about sneaking around in a kayak and waiting until you’ve located your target before making a presentation. Sometimes...

Last week I took a road trip to Osceola, WI to tour the Bending Branches factory.  Seems they have some big news about the new Angler Pro that they will reveal during ICAST in July.  Sorry, I couldn’t convince them to let me share any pictures but they...

The mayfly – a very easy kayak to fall in love with

by William Pfingst | May 24, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Fly Fishing, Mayfly, Reviews

The Jackson Mayfly I tried not to read many reviews a I wanted to come to my own conclusions of this new kayak on my own. My first thoughts on the Mayfly was how sleek and sexy the lines were. With the smooth snag free deck and a width of 35 inches this kayak was...

by Drew Ross | Mar 20, 2017 | Fishing, Instructional, Mayfly, Video

Loading a large kayak solo can be a challenge. Here’s how I use my c-tug kayak cart to load my Jackson Kayak MayFly when I fish alone. I prefer to keep my kayak on a roof rack and this cart really makes it easy to load it after a day on the water. Don’t...

Video – Nice to meet you (Fly fishing for brown trout)

by Drew Ross | Jan 12, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Fly Fishing, Video

For me, winter kayak fly fishing means chasing brown trout on Arkansas tailwaters. Sure, you can chase trout all year but I really enjoy it during the winter months because the crowds are down and the fish are more active. If the weather happens to not be great, all...
