I've got a question- not how to fish a small stream- how do you "get" to a small stream.

The kind that has a jungle of vegetation between the fish and you. The fly line catches on all the limbs, the leader gets a tangled up. All those zingers get zinged. The waders get sticks punched in as you crawl on the ground. That kind of place.

Im thinking, ditch the the vest - go with a fanny pack. Real short leader so you can break the rod down and carry in two pieces through the jungle. Maybe knee pads for the crawling?

The trout have got to be two feet long up in there.
