PADDLING


WITH KAYAK FISHING’S MOST


INFLUENTIAL INNOVATORS


It’s been almost 30 years since the first roto- molded sit-on-top kayak hit the water. While an- glers have fished out of paddle craft for thousands of years, the introduction of a safe, efficient and indestructible plastic kayak suddenly made great fishing available to more people in more places. Today, kayak anglers have conquered waterways across the world and kayak fishing has entered the mainstream. But in the beginning, a few enterpris- ing adventurers took a new invention and went fish- ing. Kayak Angler magazine sat down with some of the early pioneers to talk about the old days, the rise of kayak fishing and the future of the sport.
