Hi Andrew,
It depends on how long I'm going out for. When going on a day walk I take my vest and two fly rods, a 6 weight and 4 weight. The walks being about 3 hours of walking into whatever lake. When going on longer trips I tend to take a couple of fly boxes some spare leaders and tippet material. I don't take waders or bother with a landing net or sinking lines.
My main concern is to take gear that is suitable for all weather conditions, here in Tassie we can have the 4 seasons in a day. It means that I make sure I have at least 5 layers of clothes for top and 3 layers for bottom ( 2 thermal T shirts, a shirt, thermal jacket and water proof jacket, thermal long johns under light weight trousers and water proof over pants).
