Salt Water Flies

Thanks everyone. Some excellent suggestions. Rod holders are certainly a concern for me. My fly rods are 9 ft long with reels that are 4 to 6 inch in diameter for saltwater species. The biggest thing I have caught is some spanish mackerels in the Gulf, and blues and stripers when I'm in/on Cape Cod. Of course, fly reels do not sit in conventional rod holds, so I was wondering if laying them down would be preferred. Seems like that might be the case. I like the line tending ideas too. I might make a canvas with some quick release hooks for a line catch/tender/stripper. Love the idea about using fishing line for quick break away. Also, been thinking about making some stabilizers to stand. On the Cape standing will be not an option most of the time, way too choppy. However, in Florida, standing is an excellent option. The Keys offer alot of skinny flat water as well as the other area I fish around Anna Marie Island in Bradenton. When I'm finished rigging it I will post some pics and certainly more ideas will be helpful. I really, really appreciate everyones suggestions and I'm glad I found this forum. I posted two pics of some flies, that I use and tie, that have been successful for anyone getting into fly fishing in the salt.
