The Mayfly is laid out to keep fly line from catching. The open standing area and one-piece foot brace with a line anchor are snag-free, there is storage for nippers, forceps and tippet, an integrated fly patch, and molded reel pockets for fly rods. The Hi-Lo seat uses Jackson’s Comfort Seat 5.0.

KayakDIY take: It is rare to see a kayak designed this closely around fly line management. Read my full Jackson Mayfly review.
