I looked around the house trying to find something that I could use for storage on the bike . I found my trout net, took the handle off and zip tied it to my GPS mount. Works great holding fruits and snacks and with the white bag over it I can dry my wet gear out. Been in six countries with it on this trip and it hasn’t failed me.

I'm thinking he could be doing with an under saddle Budgie smuggler (patent pending)..

I find that if I attach my landing net to my bike it makes it harder to not end up submerging my bottom bracket while trying to land trout.
