Does anyone know of a good way to carry a rigged rod on a bike ? Lots of stuff on you tube for conventional but can’t find anything for fly.
TIA

Ram mount would be the best option. They make a fly rod/spinning rod holder and have plenty of parts to build what you need. Maybe these two would do the trick:

looks like they make that claw in 3 sizes to best fit the tubing on your bike frame.

Looks good but hoping for a DIY hack. Thanks for posting the links.

All Rite makes one, but it will only work if you don’t have a fighting butt. All Rite Products Bike Fly Rod Holder - Carries a Fly Rod on Bicyle or an ATV - Model FR1 Amazon.com: All Rite Products Bike Fly Rod Holder - Carries a Fly Rod on Bicyle or an ATV - Model FR1 : Sports & Outdoors

A shame a fighting butt won't fit. Thanks for posting the link though.

What scenario would you want a fully rigged rod with you on the bike? Would you be using the bike to get from spot to spot after initially rigging up?

also, we talking true mountain biking or on sidewalks and such?

Mostly surface streets. Some short rides on hard bike paths in the bayfront state park next to us.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to DIY something out of PVC. Will post up once I have something that works reasonably well.
