    Default Minimum gear

    I'm thinking about a little minimalist fishing trip Monday. I'm planning on a few flies, nippers, tippet, and forceps. What else would you take?

    Ps. Water bottle,snacks and camera goes without saying

    Depending on what flies you are bringing either floatant or split shot

    Bug spray (I'd say sunblock, too but you can put that on at the car); looks like you have everything else covered. Have fun, catch a bunch.

    When I go minimal, I opt for just one stick of Mr. Nobel's finest....but then you did say you were going fishing, not catching...

    I must be off,

    Trout or warmwater? Minimalistic fishing is always less distracting, and often more enjoyable an experience!

    Warm water. I hadn't thought of floatant or split shot! Thanks Jim

    Polarized sunglasses and a hat. Tape measure in case you catch a biggie and want to know.
