Nice build! I understand the concept completely, being a south GA boy I built up the Rubicon in my avatar specifically for trout safaris out west. I am an avid fly fisherman but being in the deep south I am mainly a saltwater fly fisherman and spend a lot of time chasing bones, permit and tarpon (Ironically it is cheaper for me to fish in Belize or Mexico using sky miles than it is for me driving and camping out west ) but I love my trout since that is what my long gone Uncle taught me to fly fish on. I considered a rod holder along the lines of that one, but when I blue line fish I use old split bamboo rods and keep them very protected on the trails packed tight in a Pelican Case. I am assuming by where you stated you wanted to get to to fish you were going to be blue lining it. Those western blue line streams can be insanely full of pretty little cutthroats, good luck and tight lines on all your upcoming adventures!
