My live well. I fish out of a boat here.
Nice aireated live well in the middle. I
use it for a trash can for my soda and water
containers. Warm regards, Jim

Got to agree with Jack Hise here...I can't remember the last time I used my net...I think it's still "V"!

NOTHING> Really, sincerely. As I have posted before about vests and fanny packs.....I only carry flies in a box stuffed in my blue jeans pocket, net, nippers, tippet material....uh....trying to think....can't think of anything else but rod and reel. Oh, a hat. Thinking of cutting a slot in a piece of 3/8" pvc pipe to release fish in the water with a barbless hook, hang it on my hip with a retractor....and do away with the net.

There is a fine line between fly fishing and standing in a river waving a stick, and YOU SIR have crossed that line!
RW here,
Usually all the things I never need are in my truck, which means I could have left them home anyway. I might be the original "travel light" guy. I got rid of my vest, net, etc. long ago. Now I carry nothing but a plastic box with a few flies in a shirt pocket, a little swiss army knife, my rod and reel and a spare spool of tippit. At my age now I usually don't fish that far from the truck, and the truck can get me anywhere I care to fish these days. What's in the truck? Now that's a different story.
I tell my wife that if something happens to me just find the truck. I'll probably be on the stream within 200 to 300 yards of it. That's when I'm fishing alone, of course. If I'm with my boys or friends I'll go farther, take more chances. I also learned a long time ago that we all carry 90 percent more "stuff" than we need. On the stream I probably look more like a "bum" than a trout bum...faded jeans, faded baseball cap, faded flannel shirt or jacket.
My motto? Travel light my friends, travel light.
Later, RW

TP. But when you need it, you REALLY need it!
I got a new chest pack right before my recent vacation and did not have time to transfer stuff before I left, so I took both the new and old ones. When I cleaned out the old one, only about half of what was in it went to MT with me. The one item that really made me laugh was the pair of hedge clippers (about a pound) that I had used one day to help clear a trail of blackberries, and had forgotten to put back in the junk drawer in the kitchen. Glad I carried those things a couple thousand miles. Not.
Oh my, how could I have forgotten TP! Perhaps the most important thing you can leave at home next to the car keys. The only saving grace for me in that department is that I usually hit a Jack-in-the-Box on my way to the river, and they seem to give you 10 times the napkins you will need, so I have a glove compartment full of TP.
Have fun, Jeff
