Overnight fishing trip packing list (2–3 days)
Overnight the list doubles: shelter, kitchen and light join the tackle. Check the tent and stove at home — there's nothing to fix them with on the bank.

Check the forecast for your water
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.
Open the bite forecastFrequently asked questions
Which sleeping bag?
By comfort rating, not extreme, and by the forecast's night minimum, not the daytime heat: it's noticeably colder by the water at night.
Fire or stove?
Stove: fires aren't allowed everywhere and won't light in rain. A fire is a nice extra, not the plan.
How much food for 2–3 days?
Count meals and add a spare day: staying longer is easier than leaving.
