As many of my friends will say I carry a lot of stuff, Maybe too much.
I once even carried my Dutch oven Set on a canoe trip,(last time I was invited)
I have loaded the borrowed Kayak a WS Ride. Straped my extra 9ft 9wt on with the paddle bundgies. Slid the kayak through the cattails heard that sickening sound of graphite snaping and the whack of the remains of the rod hiting the yak.
Different trip to the saltwater flats of Texas. I had placed the rod in the rod rack behind me and hearing that same sickening sound. Not a thing was near the rod no braches or anything.Only thing I can think of is at the fly was touching the water right under the rod..yep.
Lost a box of trout flies on the FireHole. Only to have a man at the camp ground I was staying at if I had lost it. Wish I could remember his name.
I was teaching a group of casters. Layed my GLX on the ground to coach a student. Walked back and as I passed the tip the wind fliped the fly line over my foot the tip followed and the sound rang in my ears....
