Had to post just one more thing here before I step on the plane. Trip after trip, it becomes quite evident to me that those making decisions on baggage limits for the airlines clearly do not travel to fly fish. Looking at what I had to take and trust me, I paired this down to the minimum for this trip but still have a camera case that weighs 30 pounds and all of this had to fit into a bag I could zip myself into, almost. I will end up having to pay the airline because as you can easily see, there is no way this will be less than 50 pounds of gear!
