Make sure you have some hooks tied up and ready to go with egg loops on them. Makes for much quicker transition when you loose your gear. They sell some neat roll deals that you can fit about 10-12 pre-tied leaders on.

I would agree with Swanny about the pre-tied leaders with the egg loops. I just use a 6-8" chunk of half inch pipe insulation to hold them.
I would also have :
a small spool of leader material.
pliers to pinch barbs and remove hooks.
maybe some more if I think about it.

down towards the mouth of the rivers in deeper water you could add buzz bombs to that list. they work really well! anywhere from 2 oz to 4 oz depending on how deep you are going and how heavy of gear you are using.
Agreed. I have found the smaller size doesn't get snagged up as easy. The 4oz will fly FOREVER though!

ive been packing my flyrod in with me and have found it far more enjoyable, and acctually see more fish surface casting a fly than i do a jig or spoon.... so as a result i have been spending most of my time casting a fly... im considering leaving my spinning rods in the jeep...
anyway, what are the more productive salmon steelhead and cutthroad patterns?
i have a good reel with a drag system, 200+ yards of backing and an awesome 6wt reddington, some say it is a little light, as the people using 8-9wts tell me... but ive seen a 45lbs lingcod brought up on a trout rod, so light weight gear isnt much of a concern for me, i know it can be done... but i do have to say, i havent enjoyed fishing as much as i have just casting a fly and letting it do its thing since the first time i used my boat...

my rules of fishing are preperation, repitition, organization, responsiblility, reliability, and respect....
hunting is a novelty(for now- ive only had my lisence 2 years), fishing is my passion....

So when you pre tie your hooks (for corkies, or egg loops) how much leader do you put on each hook?I do 24 then trim if I need to..I used only orange and pink..I wont even bank fish anymore though,just a big battle

it has removable compartments so you can kind of tailor it to your needs, and latches in the middle. typically, inside mine, i might have:
a couple of 1/8oz jigs
bobber stops/beads
swivels/snap swivels
split shot
a couple spinners and/or spoons
corkies
i'll stuff a leader wallet or two, a length of pencil lead(or slinkies) in my pocket, as well as a few bobbers normally. that will serve your river fishing needs 90% of the time.

most people carry way too much gear on them. i too used to carry around the 15lb fishing vest but got smart and just started packing along a pocket sized box or two most of the time. if i'm exploring somewhere new i might bring my vest along but for the most part, i figure out where and how i'm going to fish and just set the tackle box up the night before. plano makes a great little clamshell type thing that i swear by:

Big Toona is right, I am guilty as charged. Reading this post I thought hmm is that me? So I went out to the truck and grabbed what I took this morning to fish. Here is a pic of the loadout. Probably overkill. Besides I finally got a digital camera so I am taking pics of everything! Now if I just had remembered to take it with me fishing :o
