I always carry a head band type LED light. Not so much for night fishing, which I only do on certain lakes, but on the rivers if you delay getting to your take out place, it can get really dark really fast. Nighttime on the river is not a safe place without a light. Also, I carry TP in a ZipLock bag, water, camera, butane lighter (I don?t smoke but a fire is nice sometimes). Then there is the sunscreen and the insect repellant, a must have. I also carry a small multi tool that has 4 screwdrivers (2 sizes of straight slot and 2 sizes of Phillips head) and pliers and wire cutters. A small box or two of raisins as a snack come in handy at times as well.
