What fishing tackle do you like to bring? I realize this can change depending on type of water and fish, but what are your favorites?
I am primarily a fly fisherman and typically carry a 10’ 7 wt rod with a floating and sinking line and an assortment of leaders/tippet and flys including streamers, bass poppers, and terrestrials for fishing from the canoe. If I’m on a trout river, I will also bring a 9’ 5wt, waders, and whatever I can expect to see on the water at that time of year and location as far as flies go.
In addition, I like to bring 7’ med action spinning rod with a #10 braided line and fluorocarbon leaders. I enjoy using plastics with a weedless hook for bass/pike and inline spinners in the deeper water. I will troll longer crank baits when traveling. Trolling is effective, but not my preference.
Other than the rods and waders, I can fit everything into a small pouch that travels easily in my day pack or strapped to a thwart.
