Ford Fiesta turbo deisel. Its my works car, supplied free, with free fuel, and as my job is reading water meters on farms i know all the farmers and have free fishing. a section of plastic drain pipe is in the car to protect the rod and tackle bag lives behind the seat. at the end of the day it is just amazing how ofton i finish work beside a river .....iain
After I put out today's quote, I thought it might be fun to query the
list as to what each of you use for your fishing car/truck. I'm sure
this will run the gamut from ragged pick ups and cars to family
cars/trucks to "custom" fishing vehicles and for the rich ones, maybe a
HUMMER. LOL ! I'm just wondering what modifications have you made, if
any, to your fishing vehicle to ease your trip to and from the stream
and your overnight camping while fishing. Mine is a 1996 4-door F350
diesel pick up. I've added a big locking aluminum tool box on the bed,
just behind the rear window. Here I carry a floor jack, 4-way lug
wrench, heavy duty jumper cables, and a 10X12 tarp, just in case it's
needed. Also I have my streamside fly tying kit, a sleeping bag, air
mattress, pop-up dome tent, propane stove, Boy Scout Patrol cook kit, an
extra fuel filter for the truck and an assortment of wrenches, etc. I
also put all my fishing gear that I won't use except my fly rods, which
I store out of sight behind the rear seat. Don't want to run the chance
of having my truck broken into when someone spies my fishing gear, like
what happened to Del Roberts earlier this year.
LEMME HEAR FROM YOU - What's your fishing vehicle ??? Any modifications
???
Have a Great Day

P.S. YES, I'M STILL A PRISONER IN MY OWN HOME - NO DRIVING, RIDING, ETC.
TILL I go see my doc on the 12th. Hopefully he'll clear me to resume my
normal activities. So . . . like I said earlier, I tie flies, manage
the three swaps I'm currently meistering, play on the computer and
lastly aggravate you guys. Hey - a guy's gotta do what he's gotta do!
