Jackson Kayaks call the Mayfly the “ultimate kayak fly fishing platform.” Yes, it’s hyperbole. With a design that strikes a great balance between speed and stability, while addressing the specific needs of fly fishermen, this thing make an excellent ride for anyone who wants to spend the day angling in the water.

Designed to aid in fly line management, the boat comes with a completely snag-free deck, with absolutely no place to get your line tied up, regardless of whether you’re hooking a fly, casting a line, or waiting for a bite while sipping on suds. It comes in a generous selection of colors, too, so you can totally blend in (or stand out) in your favorite fishing destinations.

It has a versatile hull that’s optimized for tracking, speed, and stability on slow-moving rivers, lakes, and ponds, with a wide open standing area, so you have plenty of room to move while casting or reeling.
