Dogfish,
You are correct, and I was a bit quick with my comment on fishing from a canoe.

I am much more comfortable fishing from my kayak, but have not yet tried fly casting from it. I do fish from my kayak for salmon, but mostly trolling.

I really enjoyed your post last year, w/ pics, of your lingcod kayak fishing adventure!

I remember you stating it could not take a lot of pressure, but just in case it's on or near Whidbey, can you PM me the location. It looked a little like the central part of Whidbey I remember thinking.

Thanks,
Jeff
