How many rods do you have on the boat for a typical day of fishing?
I have four that stay on the boat permanently.

Just two. One I fish with and the other is a spare. One can only have one line in the water at a time in Alberta unless you're ice fishing, then your allowed 2 lines.
I carry 5, a 2# spinning rig, a 4# spinning, a 6# spinning, an 8 #casting and a fly rod. I feel comfortable that's enough to catch SOMETHING at any given moment. And of course the 50# tackle box to feed all of those rigs......
Other than that, I tend to travel light.....
Your state is nickle/ diming you to death, hope you get some good returns from all your sportsman fees !! I used to fish in waters belonging to my neighboring state and carried their license along with my own state license. Then they decided to get greedy and non resident license's went from 30 bucks up to 125.... Needless to say they lost a ton of out of state fisherman !! Not worth carrying that license anymore, and I discovered the fish will gladely cross the border to my side of the lake without complaint.We have a "second rod validation" which is a fancy name for an option to the regular fishing license. It is $19.44 this year. Allows two rods for all fresh waters except those areas where only barbless can be used (fly fishing places I think). I buy it because I'm usually solo and having two rods out trolling is a huge difference.
Three, a bait caster with 10# test and two spinners with 8 pound test
