Alrightttt! That's a great setup. And nice pics. Glad to see you got the camera working. Hope your wife will either be with you on your trip or you'll borrow her camera for some more photos you can share with us.
It's helpful to see how a fellow flyfisher sets up his tube - especially one who innovates and doesn't just follow the crowd to the usually expensive flyfishing solutions. Looks like you've thought of everything. I know you're getting ready to head out for RI so feel free to respond to my questions later if that's best.
I'm interested in the floating transducer. I'm currently using my Buddy II but may soon hand that off to the grandson and go back to my Cuda 168. I have the Cuda transducer mounted on a PVC upright and bungie cord in the same fashion as TD and others. The floating arrangement looks like it would have some advantages such as not getting tipped off center when leaning backward and not needed to be raised when launching or landing. Just pull it out and lower it over the side. You have my mind running again.
I'd love to see a closer shot of your document flybox and the binder arrangement. (And the flies!)
Also, with your extra rods - do you carry them broken down and prestrung?
