That's my strategy. My truck looks like a bashed-up piece of shit (but it's reliable!!) & my 2 best flyrods are in homemade tubes made from plumbing pipe & duct tape 😹

i'm glad i didn't have anything expensive back there this time. If i'm fishing a lot, sometimes my flyrods are in there fully rigged.
My lithium emergency booster better be in the house right now (i haven't checked yet, pretty sure it is)
Sigh
Fuck with my tools, make me mad

Just before the spawn
We fished a different dam Saturday morning with the flyrods. Wind was cold and very overcast. In the dam just above this dam, the carp started spawning Wednesday, so we thought we would also see spawning carp in this dam but there was no spawning yet. Both carp we got are fat and obviously full of eggs. My friend got a 6.5kg and I managed a 10.7kg.Posted by Trompie42

Fly Rod Warranties
I found it interesting that some companies still try to decipher the degrees of carelessness that led to the rod breaking in the first place.
