If you’ve spent any time around stillwater fly fishing, you know how demanding it can be—and Flycraft Pro Fly Fisherman, Landon Mayer is the kind of angler who thrives on that challenge.
Check it out:
Landon has guided countless days on the water and built his reputation by paying attention to details most anglers miss. He’s drawn to stillwaters because they’re never the same twice. Every day brings new conditions—wind, light, depth changes, fish movement—and success depends on how well you adapt. There’s no current helping your drift. No shortcuts. You’re responsible for your presentation, your line control, and your position on the water.
That mindset is what makes this video a true test of the Ninja One Man Fishing Boat.
The trip takes place in South Park, Colorado, where Landon targets local reservoirs like Spinney Mountain—deep water, shallow bays, sharp drop-offs, and fish that move constantly between them. These are the kinds of fisheries where boat control isn’t optional. You have to be able to slip into tight pockets, hold precise positions along drop lines, and adjust quickly as conditions change.
And, as South Park often delivers, calm conditions didn’t last long. Wind built fast, waves stacked up, and whitecaps rolled through shallow bays. Instead of backing off, Landon leaned into the conditions, using wind, structure, and protected edges to stay in the zone. This is where the Ninja’s smaller footprint, stability, and ability to reposition easily really came into play.
Throughout the day, Landon moves in and out of tight “buckets,” anchors along transition zones, and adjusts his setup on the fly—exactly the kind of fishing that exposes weaknesses in a boat. His takeaway is simple: being able to adapt inside a large body of water matters more than size, and having a platform that responds quickly makes a real difference.
This video isn’t about fishing perfect conditions. It’s about seeing how the Ninja One Man Fishing Boat performs when the wind comes up, the water gets rough, and precision matters. And it’s about why the Ninja fits anglers who want to fish stillwaters with intention, not limitation.
