There is no need to hang up your fly rod or travel to remote destinations once the water gets too warm to fish for trout.  Warm water and saltwater fly fishing offers fantastic fly fishing opportunities.  The downside is accessing these fisheries is not as easy as wading a trout stream.  Shorelines of lakes and ponds are often choked with vegetation, making casting difficult.  Fish are often just outside of casting range when fishing in the salt.  A  kayak or float tube can solve all of these problems.
