Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - September/October 2022 - 27

Likewise, a rod or wading
staff can also be secured
to the main frame of the
bicycle with zip ties or
heavy, rubber twist ties,
offering excellent flexibility.
Room for a water bottle
is a plus, as well as an
emergency pump and patch
kit. A flashlight, mounted
somewhere on the bike, may
come in handy, too, if you
find yourself still pedaling
after dark. Round out the
accessories with a basic
strap-on first aid kit.
You can carry it all in a
backpack, but that means
the backpack weight will
press against your lumbar
region with each rotation of
the pedals. The more surface
area you can allow body
heat to escape from as you
ride, the more comfortable
you will be. Transferring
as much load to the bike as
possible helps.
Depending on the
distance and temperatures,
biking anglers may
choose to wet wade, wear
breathable waders as they
ride, or pack lightweight
waders to put on once they
reach their destination.
I prefer the latter, as it
allows me to cover a greater
distance more comfortably.
Once I arrive where I
wish to fish, I stash my
bike at a takeout location, attach a cable lock for
security, and swap out my sneakers for fishing gear.
Then, I walk a half mile or so downstream and fish
my way back to the bike.
Allow ample time to get back to your vehicle.
Pack a few snacks and plenty to drink, as the
energy used for this type of remote destination
fishing will need to be replenished along the
way. Take a friend along in case of emergencies,
and always let someone know where you are
going and when you expect to return. If fishing
during hunting season, wear fluorescent orange
for safety.
Bike fishing provides access to some of
Pennsylvania's best waterways. Plan ahead for
comfort and safety, and let the good times roll.

Gear can be attached to the bike frame with rubber twist
ties. Transfer as much of the load to the bike as possible for
comfortable riding, and do not forget a cable lock.
