Stupidity, he said, you would not believe how many fly rods get slammed in car doors or snapped by a power window because the tip is hanging out or broken by trying to yank a fly off a log or a branch.

If this is true confessions, several years back I moved from one place on the river to another. I did not want to break down the rod completely so I just took it apart enough to fit in the car. Jumped in and went to the next spot. Just after starting up the car I heard a loud crack. I did not know what it was but when I got to the next site I found that the fly had come off the hook keeper and then the wheel had been hooked as the wheel rotated - well you get the rest. Really stupid. I am pretty careful now.

I used to keep the rod together strung w/ the fly hooked on the holder loop loaded it through the trunk (or the tailgate on the Jeep) because I didn't want to take the time to break it down put it in the case every time.

Don't mention gas prices as that's a 2-edged sword for me. I work in the natural gas ind. and when prices are high business is great and gas is cheap - relatively speaking (for me, anyway). When prices are low- business is slow. I thought my '94 454 Suburban would become my fishing vehicle, but I liked my 04 stretch-cab 8.1 liter Sierra for pulling the toy-hauler much better. Then I bought an 05 crew-cab Duramax for the mileage, but that became almost a wash with the high diesel prices. So now I have 3 trucks and still have to decide which one to take fishin'. But I don't break any rods cause the toy-hauler is plenty long enough and doesn't have a ceiling fan. When ATV'n from spot to spot, I break the rod down into 2 halves and put it in the gun-rack. Just join the two halves again at the new spot, feed out the leader and fly, and I'm ready again.
