Nice trip report; sounds like a day I once had in a small stream north of
D.C. How did you keep the rod n' reel you weren't using on your person,
since you were traveling light? Did you just set one down on the bank?

What I did was take my fly rod in an oversized aluminum rod tube
that doubled as a walking stick. When my fly rig was broken down I
attached my reel to my hiking shorts with a small bungee cord looped
around the spool. As you guessed I'd just set the one I wasn't using
down on the bank.

It wasn't too bad, but next time I go I'll just pick either spinning
or fly tackle and stick with one.
