Hi Jeff,

I'm not surprised that an angler in a boat, canoe or float tube might carry extra rods. I generally have between three or four rigged fly rods ready and within easy reach when I fish alone in my canoe. I've seen many float tube guys carry an extra rod. The amazing thing about this angler was that he carried three rods while wading and fishing in the middle of a rapid, medium sized river. The way he carried the two extra rods in his left arm pretty much ruled out using his left hand for line control, reeling, hauling or even nose scratching. He had no place but the fairly fast river to put his extra rods down if he wanted to use his left hand. BTW, he also carried a net; I don't know which hand that was going to go in. 8T
