Flipping my Old Town Kayak - Testing Stability and Re-entry 

Great question! This was one of my concerns in doing this. I also have a thru-hole drilled into my yak for the electronics, so was worried about that and the compartment under the seat you mentioned. All that to say, NO WATER. I was pleasantly surprised. It flip was pretty quick, but there was no water inside.

@BCFishingJournal you nailed it in the video, first priority is to get the kayak flipped back over, everything else can be found later....or replaced! 😆

Love this comment. Thanks for sharing that, I hadn’t considered the backend (no idea as to why), but will try that next time. Regardless, I have way more confidence in my OT now.

@@crankbaiter_fishing I certainly hope not, but the Pacific Ocean is no joke.

@@BCFishingJournal oh yeah 100% you definitely needed the drill

@@AliMajod-rk5hj thanks for the kind words. In regards to your question, are you looking to use a bottom rig that would bounce down the river with the fly or sit still with the fly in the current? First off I admire your thinking out of the box approach to the Cap. Second, I’m not an expert with the flies to be honest, but I think you’d need some more natural movement than one being stationary in current. So I don’t think that would work. But it never hurts to explore and try new things! Who knows maybe you’ll get a section of the river where that approach slays. Thanks for following my channel, and let me know if you try that out!
