I feel that way when I'm fishing with one of my Dads Lamson/Sage outfit's. If I'm wading- After I grab the Tippet I usually stick the rod between my legs...(lol). However, I'm sure you could rig some kind of velcro strap harness that fits around your waste and shoulder. When I wade, I always take my Kelty jumbo-sized fanny pack looped around my shoulder and neck. When I'm moving from spot to spot I will stick the fly-rod between my F-pack and shoulder and then the Fighting-But (of the fly-rod) into my shorts, (in the crack of my @ss- lol). Actually works fine for moving from spot to spot on a Flat......... Cabelas makes a wading basket with rod holders for Flats fisherman. But after reading the reviews, I think you could "back-engineer" something better. Here it is- http://www.cabelas.com/p-0036759018468a.shtml#customer-product-reviews Hope this helps ya? Good luck.
