Fly Fishing Pontoon Boats

Fly fishing pontoon boats are all about overcoming limitations: Mother Nature's and your own. When you go fly fishing without a boat you're limited to the shorelines and near-shore areas of whatever bodies of water you're fishing in. You'll still be able to toss flies to some of the fish you're hunting, but occasionally the big guys are hiding a bit further out than your line can reach. Pontoon boats can help you overcome this obstacle.

Getting out there where the fish are

Using pontoon boats for fly fishing isn't a new idea, but it's an idea that has come into its own in recent years. The ideal pontoon boats for the fly fisherman are simple one-person rides with a seat between the pontoons, a back platform for your flies, fly rod, and other gear, and attached oars for ease of maneuverability. Given the wide range of motion necessary during fly fishing, you'll need to pick a particularly sturdy pontoon boat so you don't end up face-to-face with the fish in their own environment.

The best fly fishing pontoon boats

The Orvis High-Ride pontoon boat is probably the leading brand among fly fishing boats, but there are a variety of others out there, from basic pontoons to inflatable belly boats, made by folks like Waterskeeter, Trout Unlimited, and Outcast. They're priced anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. Durability is a given; otherwise, your choice will be limited only by how much boat you can afford. Whatever you're looking for, fear not; you'll find it here!
