I took a shot at that hoping the translation would make it through.
Depends on where you’re at.

Come summer, hands down I’d be throwing top water!

Depending on your casting abilities, you may find it challenging to cast sitting down in a kayak, but totally doable. I used to cast a lot in my yard when I started years ago. You could easily do that practicing in your kayak. Always wear glasses and if it’s windy, I’d recommend pinching the barb for safety.

Also, I wouldn’t get too worried about perfect casting. As long as you can get the fly to the fish you will catch them. It’s only the people around you who care

I would just get out and go.
Work on your casting. I mean all casting. Roll casting, back casting, bow and arrow, horizontal roll casting etc

Just use some basic flys. I’m sure you could look up what is predominate on your waters for the season.

Then work on a good drag free presentation.
You do that, you’ll be well on your way before getting into all the nuisances that the fly fishing enthusiasts community would typically go down.
