Well, it s that time of year! Although there are plenty of great winter fishing radisson hotel valley forge destinations , the fact is the majority of angling travel in the world takes place over the next three or four months.
For most of us the angling part is a lot more enjoyable than the actual travel part. So let s help our fellow anglers out we know that many of you have picked up some really holiday inn chingy helpful travel tips over the years, radisson hotel valley forge and we d love for you to share them.
We ll get the ball rolling with one example we think earplugs are a traveler s best friend, and they always go in our shirt pocket when we leave home. Cheap foam ones work just fine (you re going to lose them all the time anyhow). They re an excellent weapon to combat crying babies, too-loud airport speakers, and that passenger sitting next to you who really wants to chat about her passion for knitting.
I ve been packing my gear, flies, and rod tubes in a non-descript lighweight grey rolling duffel by Columbia on trips to Alasks, Belize, Hawaii, and the Bahamas. It weighs less that half of one of those fancy flyfishing travel bags by (fill in favorite brand here) thus leaving more space for what is really important and without holiday inn chingy drawing unwated attention to your stuff. Wife and I usually split our stuff up in case on of our bags is lost. Always carry my reels and cameras on in my boat bag or backpack. radisson hotel valley forge I also pack a small flexible tripod called a Gorillapod which is great for taking pics if you re off wading solo and need a quick photo of yourself and that double-digit bone! lastly, holiday inn chingy I pack a soft plastic camping laundry bucket and a small bottle of Woolite. Beats wearing radisson hotel valley forge your clothes radisson holiday inn chingy hotel valley forge into the shower !
- Ship ahead- the USPS flat rate boxes are great. Boots, waders holiday inn chingy , knifes, extra lines, holiday inn chingy ect. mail them ahead of tie to your hotel or lodge. For really out of the way spots or LONG trips, have the fedex office holiday inn chingy (usually at the airport) hold your package. holiday inn chingy I did 4 weeks on the road with lots of flights with only carry ons. Each stop had a package of fresh clothes waiting for me, and I shipped any dirty stuff back. At $50-ish per checked bag for each leg of the trip, I saved a bunch of $$$.
- Don t ask questions- If you ask is this too big for a carry on the automatic answer will be yes . Once you make it past the ticketing counter, you re golden. holiday inn chingy TSA doesn t know/care about the size restrictions per plane/airline radisson hotel valley forge and once you get to the boarding gate, the worst is that you may have to gate-check.
Thirdly- double, triple check the gear your taking. It sucks when you think you ve packed your favorite reel, only to remember that you took it out of your bag to re-line it and forgot to put it back in.
Lastly- most importantly, remember to have fun. You ve paid a lot of money to go on the trip, so don t let uncontrollables ruin your trip. Some times, the fishing / weather can be horrible, and you can t control that, but there s more to a destination fishing trip than the fishing. Check out the local landscape, go sight seeing, meet the locals, relax, and have fun, because what ever happens- it s a pretty safe bet to say- it beats sitting in a cubicle all day
We re leaving in a week for a 10 day trip around Montana. Flying United. holiday inn chingy Anyone had recent experience with this carrier as to carrying rod tubes on board or is it better to check them with the rest of our gear?
Bring a mesh laundry bag on trips (go to Wally World) to separate dirty clothing from your clean stuff. Keeps the clean sock count honest. If you re headed to AK West this summer, you probably won t be used to 20 hours of daylight. Although the guides do a damn good job of tuckering you out, a sleep mask really helps you sleep in the land of the midnight sun.
A unique way to organize as well as get more on an airline without extra fees is to use a golf hard case. Airlines holiday inn chingy don t charge more for them. We can get 4-5 stuffed radisson hotel valley forge gym bags in one. It also makes a good way to separate items you may need for a couple of days before you go into your camp. We had each of our kids put their two day overnight stuff in one so they didn t have to dig through their regular holiday inn chingy bag. If you need to then go on a small plane, you can pull the soft bags out of the golf bag and leave the golf bag with either the airline or a hotel. Works well for us
Per Ryan s United Airlines holiday inn chingy rod tube inquiry If you have multi piece rods you can bring them on board. If you have several rods get a rod tube sack. You can go fancy or cheap, but the organization is great, and most of the tune carriers have a pouch or two for flies, reels, etc. Two piece rods sometimes will get stopped on all airlines holiday inn chingy as they won t fit into the overhead. In the old days the flight attendants would let you put them in their locker, holiday inn chingy radisson hotel valley forge but lately they have stopped being so nice. I typically send my rods in my drop bottom roller bag, and carry 1 4 piece rod with reral and a box of flies.
If you know where you are staying the advice to send ahead is great. I ship UPS or Fed-X to my destinations (including guns) so I know everything will be there. I usually fly Delta and get 1 bag free so I travel holiday inn chingy with 1 carry on and 1 roller holiday inn chingy bag as it makes arrival and departure holiday inn chingy easier.
Iv e used cheap bags and expensive bags. and they all will be abused, but I have found that the top of the line bags such as Boyt holds up much better to the abuse. holiday inn chingy They add a few extra pounds, but they don t need replacing as often. holiday inn chingy If you only travel once a year you might try a Sierra Designs bag. They are kinda middle radisson hotel valley forge of the road between economy and top notch. Travel 1st class when you can as you get an extra 20lbs of luggage (at least with Delta). 1st class is also great if you need to bring back a box of salmon from Alaska West. 1 bag for clothes and one bag for fish BOTH FREE!!!
Also check the weather that is expected at your destionation nothing like leaving the sunny south in 98 degree heat and arrive with the tempeture close to freezeing and you have on shorts and a short sleeve shirt.
Ear plugs Ipod anything to drown out cabin noise I read, but if you want to entertain yourself just do what you prefer. Just be aware that you are close to others so don t be a part of the problem entertain yourself.
TSA will allow you to carry on your reels on your flight to Costa Rica, but airport security in Costa Rica won t let you carry on fly line (or backing?) for your trip home. Best to remove the spool and put it in your checked bag for the return holiday inn chingy trip. Go figure. My reel was scrutinized two times by security at the airport in Liberia radisson hotel valley holiday inn chingy forge before boarding.
Coppertone Sport Spray doesn t sting the eyes when you get hot and sweaty. Neutrogena holiday inn chingy high SPF sunscreen for noses, ears, backs of hands, inside of forearms that always holiday inn chingy seem to burn no matter holiday inn chingy how much you put on Wear your flats wading boots on your trip to a bonefish destination to save weight in checked luggage. Put the heaviest stuff that TSA doesn t mind in your roll-a-board to keep you under 50 pounds in your checked luggage. Bring a good book in case you get weathered-out for a day or two. Pack a fly swatter, particularly for buggy AK, CAN or Andros Middle Bight in June Use a camping gear compression bag for shorts, socks, underwear, t-shirts and anything else you don t care if it is wrinkled; it is a GREAT space saver.
For the life of me I can t see why you d ever come here to fish but flying out from the UK there are restrictions on what you can carry on. All rods, reels and flies have to be checked. Reels are ok without fly-line though, as with Sean. I always use an ordinary hard suitcase when travelling, fishing duffels draw too much attention (especially in Cuba).
My tip for vertically challenged fishermen, when deep wading the flats is to get a William Joseph Creel that slides up into your upper back region and stays dry with no casting restriction. Very useful bit of kit.
I could not imagine flying holiday inn chingy without them, having traveled from the west coast of the states to the Seychelles 6 times now let me say i know what long flights are like. also it does seem to be easier to get your reels and lines on carry on here in the states, than on your destinations return flight, other countries tend to take the time and look through everything!!
I made the fatal mistake of renewing my passport and not renewing my Visa waiver at the same time.My Visa waiver showed holiday inn chingy my old passport number holiday inn chingy so it was invalid.I got turned away at the gate by a very unhelpful Condor lady in Frankfurt.I have since learnt that with the new type of passport holiday inn chingy I could have renewed on line in 5 mins! No hard feelings and I hope her rash was not too serious.(hope I dont get the same lady this year!!).
So do you guys check your rods or carry on? I have a three piece spey that I would like to take to Alaska this summer but am not sure. I have one of the long fishpond holiday inn chingy rod tubes and was planning to carry that on with three to four rods in it. Thoughts?
If you ship ahead, buy TWO of the largest cardboard boxes at Office Depot or similar, then cut one down to make a double-walled BEFB ( Big Effing Fish Box ) via a box within a box approach. Use fiberglass reinforced tape on the outside to reinforce the box. I ve had this version last 3 round trips to BC when the single walled versions sometimes aren t fit for even the round trip.
Headlamp, MP3 player (e.g. Sansa Clip is $50 on Amazon), phones, eyeshades and plenty of reading material for the flight. Pack an empty Nalgene bottle through TSA, then fill in drinking fountain and put in carry on: they seldom water you enough on the long flights, and lots of water definitely helps one arrive in better shape.
