When I have my waders on...in a zip lock bag in the case strapped around my chest and stuck inside my waders at the top.......when I have my wetsuit on.....somewhere close by in a small cooler.
I use to keep a log ,,,watch prevailing winds for weeks ,moon phases all that ,,It doesn't matter I'm going anyway when I can .. I'm on the same page with you .. The more I learn, the less I know ..
