Today was a nasty rainy day outside in the Raleigh area, so what to do either sit inside watching swamp people or go fishing. I chose the second option and set out with a few flies and my 5wt down the creek to the mouth of falls lake. I was in pursuit of some bass and bream, however stumbled upon the freshwater red fish also known as la car-pay (freshwater carp). With a light sprinkle I pursed the carp without much knowledge or equipment. The day was spent with two hook ups, one thrown hook, one snapped line, and a 5wt reel caught with its drag screaming and backing out.
The 5wt was no match for the seven to ten pound carp I hooked up, however some drag screaming therapy was nice. With a rumbling stomach I headed back to the house only to be caught in monsoon like rainfall. Now soaked from the twenty minute hike back, I was thankful my cell phone and camera made it to the dry pack.
Its time to throw away that Ziploc bag and order a dry bag for your valuables.
This is the best investment for valuables and a must have for the active outdoor user. Cell phone, iPod, camera, fishing license all protected and keys they are good to as many bags float. Many different brands are available the particular one I use is a dry pak. They also have a size for most items, the coolest thing I like is the ability to still use the device while it's in the case. Touch screen phone or iPod work well, as for listening to those they sell a model that includes headphone jack. So get smart about your gear and protect it spend the $15 dollars, this is a purchase that is simple but saves a lot of headache and money.
