Fishing checklist — what to bring, item by item

One list doesn't fit every trip: you pack differently for ice and for an overnight. Below is the base list for a day on the bank, then lists by situation. Tick items off — they stay in your browser until the date changes.

The day list is built from weather, ice and the fish that bite. Open your water's forecast — the “What to bring” card is there.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the card on the forecast page?

The forecast card is built for a specific day and water: rain adds a jacket, ice adds an auger and picks, a dusk peak adds a headlamp. This is the full list for a situation, weather aside.

Are the ticks saved?

Yes, in this browser. The list is tied to the trip date; open it for another date and the ticks start over.

Can I print it?

The Print button lays the list out in one column with empty boxes to tick.
