Kayak advice needed - WS Ride 135 vs Malibu Stealth 14

Hello - I'm looking to add kayak fishing to the tackle box and have done some research.  I will primarily use the yak in rivers and lakes but will occasionally go saltwater (bay and off beach).  I mostly fly fish but will use what I need to catch what I'm lookin for. The option to be able to stand is important.

Based on the above 2yaks what say those with experience?  This will be my first yak (and hopefully only at least for awhile).

All other comments recommendations welcome.

Thanks for the help.

I do not have either, but I know a couple with the ride and they love it!  Looks like a great yak!

Anyone know where I can demo a Ride 135?  I called all local dealers found on the WS website and none have the Ride to test out.

I had a ride but now my dad has it down in NC or I would say I can help.

I liked the ride, very stable and comfortable and not too slow either. You may consider one of the native boats too if standing is going to be your thing. Also the new Jackson boat looks great for the river.
