Boats, Parts & Accessories

A lot of lakes across the U.S. offer great fishing spots, and this is often even more so for the angler  equipped with a dedicated, versatile, and portable pontoon fly fishing boat.


These inflatable boats are able to offer a variety of advantages to the fisherman. One of the main benefits is the ease in maneuverability to locate some of the more out of the way fishing opportunities. Transportability is often an easy task in view of the lightweight construction. And storage of the craft is a simple solution – either deflate or leave inflated and store in a convenient spot until that next fishing trip.

Creek Company, Buck’s Bags, Outcast, and Oregon Fishing are some of the manufacturers of these durable and lightweight pontoon fly fishing boats. The actual pontoons are constructed of a PVC material (heavy-duty), aluminum frames, and vinyl bladders.

These inflatable fishing boats are available as a entry level single-seater model that’s relatively inexpensive to the more high priced models that come outfitted with a host of features and able to accommodate two or three anglers plus gear. Accessories often featured include a power inflator, repair kits, side cargo packets, pockets for tackle, and storage bags.

The pontoon fly fishing boat is intended to offer a stable, durable, and strong platform, and able to stand up to the rigors of the rougher waters to the more sedate lakes. Also, it is often wise to keep in mind some basic maintenance tips – don’t leave the inflatable in direct sun light, and avoid objects that might damage the pontoons, such as barb wire or rocks. Clean the craft after use with fresh water and soap, its best to avoid the more abrasive cleaners, and leave out to dry prior to placing in storage.
