Fishing

[JStones]

Fun thread here.... Anyone here Fish? Got any neat/Creative methods on securing your gear to the bike? Success stories? Epic Fail stories?

I use a 7 piece flyrod and put in in my backpack. I saw a guy on a BMW a few years back, on a trout stream parking lot in Wisconsin, who had a PVC pipe attached to his front fork for his rod. The rod was probably a two piecer.

Backpack or bungy to the side of the bike, do it all sumer n worx nice, love to ride n fish.

Fishing is my other passion. Now you've gone and done it.

Where can I put some rod holders? hmmmmmm.......

My boat is the constant backdrop for my build pictures. Maybe I should think about ways to incorporate my bike into my boat as well. Handle bars instead of steering wheel. A couple of G seats on the pedestal seats maybe? Vance and Hines 4 into 1?
