In Response To: Rectangular - More Efficient? (mike allen)

I built my first kayak specifically for trout fishing - not surprising I used a fly rod and wore a fly vest. Been using a fly vest while paddling ever since, with all those pockets it is very convenient, fits over my PDF and doesn't interfere with paddling. Left unzipped, the vest can be shed quickly if necessary.

I typically have a hatch in my forward bulkhead (none on the deck) so that I can stow a fishing rod or two below deck. A knee tube is not an option for me. I tend to store cameras and such on the floor in a plastic bag under a pair of bungies.
