For example line tenders, fly storage, anchor sytems, etc...Thanks for any help

HMH makes/sells a portable, packable stripping basket that snaps on a belt around your waist called the "KR Linetender"

This is what I plan to use on my yak come springtime... but then, I'll be standing while sight-fishing with the fly rod so it may be easier than from a sitting position. Don't know if you were planning on trying to stand on your yak or not while fly fishing?

I bought and had installed the Stand N' Fish leaning post/pontoon system for my Stealth 14 just so I could fly fish easier from a standing position in skinny water here on Long Island. It's a pretty slick system and so far I really like it.

Also, I'm considering adding one of these to put my fly rod in while I'm under-way... have so far heard pretty good reviews about it and the price it right.

Best of luck to you!
