Fly fishermen - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bob,
With that outfit you can land anything that can't break you off from the drag of the line in the water. My friend here who has a fly fishing shop and fishes a BFK in SW says you've made a good choice, both for rod and reel.
The BFK has a fast action so the rod bends closer to the tip than softer actions. That means the fish will have a longer lever arm to work with while you're trying to put the hurt on it.
If it doesn't spool you or take out so much line the leader gives from it pulling the line through the water, you can take most of what you can get a fly in front of. Good fishing!
Dave
