Barry,
I think the Fife would be stable enough for fly-fishing. I
used to fly fish myself from a canoe. The Fife will roll some
but will not go over. I tried to see how far it would roll to
the side before taking on water. I am sure it can be done but
was unable to make it that day. You would probably have to
stand on one side. I think some of the comfort comes from
being closer to the water than a canoe. Forgive me for
comparing her to a canoe. (That is what most people think of
when they see her on the water.) It might be small for more
that one fly fisherman. But is much better than a canoe and
easier to get to where the fish are than any flat bottom
rowboat.
