Anyone have tips for outfitting a kayak for fly fishing?

I'm going to be using my kayak for fly fishing and was wondering if any of you guys have any tips for rigging the kayak specifically for fly fishing (I generally fish Florida and Cape Cod)? Generally, I'm keeping everything seat forward clean as to not tangle fly line when stripping. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas I'm not thinking of because I'm new to kayaking. For example line tenders, fly storage, anchor sytems, etc... Also how much will I need a landing net? It would seem that, because you can bring the fish up to the kayak close in and it is low to the water, a net would be sorta useless. I may be wrong, so any thoughts would be helpful. I won't need any electronics as most of the fishing will be sight fishing or blind casting. I have been fairly successful in the past and had a cheap fish finder in my last boat that proved useless. However, again, maybe a better fish finder would have done the trick?

Thanks for any help
Tony
