That is why I asked!

If you really want a kayak for fishing I say join some of the facebook kayak pages and look on the forums. There are lots of quality used kayaks for sale that would be closer to your price range. I greatly suggest spending $700+ though IF you are going the kayak route. Something in the 11.5" or longer range with a 30" plus wide platform. You can find used Jackson Coosas for around $700 and they are a nice kayak. I often see Wilderness System Ride 115s for sale too. Like I said though I fish out of an Old Town Predator MX and they run around $1200 new and as sandfly mentioned the Nucanoes are roughly $1000-$1800 I believe. The Nucanoe Pursuit seems like it would be a great kayak for fly fishing! You won't however find very many Predator MX or Nucanoes used for sale since they haven't been around as long as Wilderness and Jackson.

Living in Middletown, I have wanted to float the Swatara and Middletown Res. I have back problems but have been thinking of a kayak or pontoon. My budget is under $500 (my thought anyway) for boat. Obviously I will need to spend more on paddles, life vest etc.
Anyone have advice on what to get? Looked at a few things at Cabelas and Bass Pro but not sure what would work
Save up more money and get yourself a nice fishing kayak.
