I have only a 5 piece 5wt rod which straps to the side of my bike.This trip I fished the natural forests and had to do a lot of bow casting due to vines,trees,etc.
Yes tubeing,canoeing and electric motors are allowed.I used a black nymph.
I will invest in a 2 wt, 4 piece rod for the forest angling which is harder but extremely fun and some water boots as angling in riding boots and pants is so clumsy.
