Carrying Two Rods

April 23, 2020

Question: Is it legal to carry two fly rods in case one breaks? (Mike)

Answer: You can carry as many rods as you’d like as long as there’s not more than one line in the water at the same time. California law would prohibit you from fishing with two rods in inland waters without first obtaining a second rod validation, unless you are under 16. The second rod validation does not apply to waters where anglers are required to use only barbless hooks and artificial lures.
