Good chance the fish is stocked anyway

I have one. They can be fun, but are limiting. They're simple, and I think that's part of the draw?

Going spot to spot on the river, I just velcro the rod(s) to the roof rack. Or put them in the rig thru the rear hatch. Otherwise, I can rig up pretty fast, at least $600 fast.

I'll bet the carriers are longer than your car...just a hunch.Two guys, each with a streamer, nymph, and dry fly set up. That’s how we roll in BozAngles

I got a picture somewhere of a 330 bull whose horns strattled my subaru roof....this was 30 years ago before trendsters/hipsters.At least my forester gets good MPG’s
I still contend most people only fish with one rod at a time....
But what a spectacle to drive through Bozeman with..I'm not kidding...like 25 kock and balls on a small pull behind trailer. That would shame the posers.haha

No worse than the clowns in jacked up trucks with ten gallon exhaust pipes and rear window totally covered with Browning, Real Tree, Ducks Unlimited, Vortex, etc., etc. decals.
I suppose you won't be surprised to know I am a fly fisherman. It does require some skill level well above a spinning rod, much like bow vs rifle hunting. But I use old equipment bought off ebay and I still wear the Hurricane fly vest Santa put under the tree in 1962. When I worked in Alaska I had trophy fishing three minutes from my door and very often I was gently casting on the Brooks River at three in the morning, all alone in the shadow of the fabulous Alaska coastal range. Just me and the bears. Day after day. Still have the wrecked elbow to remind me, which eventually forced me to give up golf. Yes, there's lots of good things to be said about fly fishing ... and some have nothing to do with fishing.
Have fun fly fishing. mtmuley

I do when I can. We have more water than land here but it's not good fly fishing. I guess I could rig up for northerns but fly casting on my arse in a boat or float tube/pontoon just isn't the same. Kinda like road hunting from a pickup. I prefer stalking along the river in waders. Going back to Alaska next summer for sure!

I'd do the PVC build if my truck had a roof rack. Still pissed I broke my ultralight spinning rod.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can take down your rod put it in a case and leave it rigged up. They run $35-50.
I can't imagine they don't get wear on the guides or anywhere else the rod touches the tube will rattling down a washboard road. I've yet to see any sort of vehicle storage that doesn't get dust in it either.
I've only seen a few up here, but it seemed like every vehicle in SW 'Tana had one on it. Those 14" trout deserve better.

May all time favored fishing trip, was on the Missouri, we were bonking 4lb+ trout left and right, using the gunnel on an aluminum boat. The sound carried a long ways.
we got a lot of mean looks, especially when yelling headache just before the bonk.That's awesome. Wish I could do that on the Bitterroot. mtmuleyMay all time favored fishing trip, was on the Missouri, we were bonking 4lb+ trout left and right, using the gunnel on an aluminum boat.
