Even bought a short, "Tight Quarters Rod" from Cabela's just for such places.
I'm always torn. Do I take my similar 7 1/2' 3 weight for these trips or the 9' 4 weight? Both have their merits. The short one because you can actually get a cast in (often from your knees) or the longer one because that extra length often means no cast or a decent roll cast is sufficient?
Choices choices.
