Fishing Pipe

[OldWill]

I don't know how many diehard fishermen are on this forum, but now that its trout season, I am posting a pic of my fly fishing gear.
A 1980s vintage Pete System that I have added a secure but removable lanyard to. Also, I carry a makeshift tamper that floats if I drop it.
I often relight/tamp in midstream.
Im sure there are many better ones out there, so I'm interested in yours. Thanks!

Cobs only. Less regret when one floats down stream. A float is a sterling idea! (Slaps forehead!)

 

[Chasing Embers]

Any pipe I'd normally smoke but I generally don't use tampers as long as I've got fingers to use.

Great minds think alike. My 314 and 317 always go in my fishing vest pocket.

Yep. Only cobs when I'm casting. I'm clumsy enough as it is sometimes, so no need tempting fate.

Pipes are way to fussy to deal with fishing. I just light a cigar.

or you could afix the pipe to your person. Like a pocket watch type thing.
Though when I read the title I was imagining a hybrid fishing rod/smoking pipe. I guess it would be a church warden type thing and need a cap to keep from dumping every time you cast. Also means you need a fishing buddy with hands or at least one hand (the dog can't light your pipe, once they figure out how to work a lighter they go straight pyro.)

That's why river banks were created. A pipe gives you a break to contemplate what the trout are feeding on and where to place the fly

That's a mighty nice briar to risk to the adventures of fishing, but you have a good plan for hanging onto it. A cob floats, and could wear a cork "life vest." You've thought it through; it should work.

Field and Stream Match might make a good blend.

Yes, I often smoke F&S Match in the stream.

That’s the last straw, going fishing today. Bring any pipe I feel like smoking, if it goes in the water happy trails pipe. Life is to short to not smoke something good on the water.

I've used a 70s GBD Sable pot with a saddle bit for at least the last 20 years. If my vest wasn't buried in the basement I'd dig it out at attach a photo. Attaching a photo from the internet to show the finish. Based on the stamping on "The Anglers Pipe" I should probably be using it but I like it too much to take out on the water.

Definitely a corn cob (Missouri Meerschaum Emerald) and my tamper is a bot of dowel.

 

[blackpowderpiper]

I'm with Warren and Brock, my hunting/fishing/outdoor adventure pipes are almost exclusively cobs. I love the way they smoke and if I did lose one I wouldn't feel too bad. I do like how you attached a lanyard to your Peterson. I have always liked the look of some of the Boswell "fishing" pipes but just can't justify taking a nice briar out into the water. Cobs work just fine for me.

 

[pappymac]

I don't fly fish. I fish out of a boat with rod & reels. I usually carry one or two cobs with me for smoking while fishing. (Don't smoke a pipe while the boat is running over trolling speeds, they will burn out.)

I have dropped a cob or two in the water by accident, but have always been able to scoop them up with a net and let them dry in the sun. That's why I take two with me.

 

[trudger]

I quite often find myself swimming with the fishes while wading. The ultimate water flush for my pipe if it’s in my mouth. I do not bring my expensive pipes but I always bring great smokers.

 

[kcghost]

Fly fishing is about the only fishing method I haven't tried. And you have to be smoking a cigar IMHO.

Been there, done that. I got a little excited setting the hook while standing midstream and knocked the pipe right out of my mouth. Smooth

 

[alaskanpiper]

I used to have a Boswell fishing pipe with the lanyard. I got rid of it when I ripped it out of my mouth when setting the hook on a red salmon. My arm caught the lanyard and pulled the pipe right out of my mouth. Nowadays I just use cobs, and carry one briar in the backpack for around the campfire.

MM country gentleman corn cob. I do have a couple Old Homestead briar pipes I also will take fishing.
