Trout don't speak Latin.
I like to think that I'm a minimalist, but no one outside of this group would ever believe that.
Today I used a rod that I haven't fished in at least 3 years

I'm both. I seldom leave home without loading up at least 4-5 outfits, vest, waders/Korkers, net, & bag with other "necessary items". When I get to the water, it's a different story.....1-3 (usually 2) fly boxes, waders on, hone, forceps, nippers, leaders/tippet, net, & camera......either wearing the lightly filled vest or fishing shirt & lanyard.

FAOL..All about caring, sharing, & good friends!!
I carry as little as I can get away with.
I agree with Betty, there are no trouts in the Black Hills !
Minimalist. Other than waders and boots, lately is been a tenkara rod, fly box with just a few patterns, nippers, hemostats and 6x tippet.
I'm not a gear junky. I have everything I need until some marketing guy comes up with the next thing. What I really need is a gilly to wear that forty pound vest and maybe carry an extra rod (or two) so I don't have to go back to the car to switch. If she doubled as a driver I could indulge in a little nip while she put the gear away instead of waiting until I get home.
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
