Fly Fishing Tackle
What is a good car for holding Fishing Equipment and reaching fishing destinations?
I’ve taken up Fly Fishing in the VA-WV-PA-NY area (but insights to other areas would also be of interest to me). I’m looking to buy a new car as my old is about to die, I was debating whether to buy a 4 wheel drive SUV or not. Are a lot of fishing locations located in places which are only accessible by off road vehicles? Or the worst that it gets is just a gravel road which a sedan and a crossover can tackle?
I like off road vehicles so I’m looking for a reason to buy one, but I mean, if I never get a chance to take it off road. What’s the point right?
What do you guys drive and what makes it a great fishing car? I had been using my sedan earlier and I’d have to disassemble The Rod every time I drove to a new stretch of the river, which was kind of annoying.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I drive a four-banger, four-door sedan. It gets great milage and when I’ve taken it fishing, gets treated like an offroad vehicle. The undercarriage scrapes rocks and whatnot and doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. I have enough trunk space to throw in a couple tackle boxes and whatever else I need to bring along, but the good thing I like about my car is the fact that the back seats fold down level and all I have to do it slide the rods forward in through the trunk and let the tips ride on the dashboard. For being a Daewoo, it’s not a bad ride.
Of course, like any other guy, I would really love to have a four-wheel-drive pick up. Preferably a Bronco. Mmm… an ‘eighty-four with a three-hundred cube Torque Monster straight-six and a four-speed… that’d be the ultimate.
