Fly fishing out of a yak sounds difficult

I can barely do it when I'm not in a yak.

I went for my first time yesterday and was humbled. I'm pretty good with a 5 wt so I thought I'd immediately pick up shooting 50 feet of line at moving redfish out of a kayak. Didn't quite work out that way though . I was in the middle of tons of reds, but I had a real problem with them seeing me before I saw them. Also putting down the paddle/pole and picking up the rod seemed to spook them a lot more than I expected. My Costa 580s are solid glasses, but I'm wondering if the polarization has diminished.
Anyways, to the OP, I'd bring a conventional reel too in case if you have the trouble I did. That way you can keep practicing without getting discouraged. I managed to boat a few with my baitcaster after about 3 hours of spooking fish flyfishing. I'm going to keep trying the fly but bring the baitcaster too so I don't end up skunked too often.
