Bikeflypackfishing?

Anyone else carrying their fishing gear? I've pared down my fly kit and will strap the pole to the top tube of my OO Fatty and have bought a very nice tidy little fly box. It's just a little extra weight and the only thing I may miss is a landing net, but I'll manage.
This is urban bikepacking at its best/worst.
Plan is to ride down to Richmond Park to bivvy out after dark. I've done this a couple of times and it is quite possibly the most stressful night you can have. The place is crawling with rangers and, well, men who aren't there for the fishing, shall we say. Supposing I get through the night without incident, I'll be heading over to Syon Park about 5 miles away to wet a line. With the cooler weather and rain, I reckon the trout will be lining up to swallow a fly.
Will report back.
