A friend just shared an idea for kyaking or canoeing fishermen. Secure a length of swimming noodle to your fishing rod in case it falls overboard. If it falls overboard, it will be floated instead of sinking.

Great idea! Thanks Wildman!

Actually it's Terry T's idea of Anahuac, Tx. She is a brilliant individual!

I have a hard enough time making a delicate presentation with my flyrod. I can't imagine being very successful with the rod encased in a swimming noodle!

I've been kind of puzzling on that too. There's no place on a flyrod where the noodle wouldn't interfere that I can visualize.
