Building a fishing boat - recommendations?

My brother, Mike, has finally talked me into building a kayak. Now I need to find a design. I'm a fly fisherman, so I want to be able to carry and cast my 9' fly rod in my new boat. I'm going to be using it in lakes, moderate rivers (the Yakima?), and Puget Sound. I'll also need to be able to keep up with him in his Arctic Tern or Putz Walrus when we go out paddling.

Anybody have any recommendations?
