Has anyone who fishes the bank ever use a fat tirei bike or razor scooter (with off-road wheels) to get to spots quickly?  We have a few reservoirs with limited parking and I've been thinking of getting one of these to help me get to spots faster using trails because I really don't want to spend a half hour walking before being able to get a line in the water.

I haven’t but people around here use them all the time to fish the beaches 

not sure about the bikes but me and my brothers have razor scooters. they are pretty small and run out of battery pretty fast. ( I mean the electric ones by the way)

I use to use my Mountain bike, but stopped. Creepy guys were eye balling it too much. Not a fat bike, but a 2500.00 hardtail, with good stuff on it. Plus it was kinda hard carrying 4 rigs, plus my big backpack. If your gonna get a bike, get a beater type.

There's a guy at work that rides a fat tire to work when it's snowing.  I tried it out, pretty neat, easy to ride in the snow.  He usually rides a single speed, so he's used to the effort it takes.  Me, I still have an old Gary Fisher hardtail, and this bike would be a challenge on hills for me.  As far as the tackle, as a kid, I used my bike to hit up everyone else's farm pond until I got a horse (then I started riding the horse fishing).  I would use a couple of pieces of baling twine to tie the rod to the top tube with the reel real near the seat stem.  I carried a tackle box in my hand, but there are fishing backpacks that would make that so much easier.  Unless you have mud or snow on the trails you take to go fishing, the fat tire bike might not be any better than a regular width mountain bike tire.

Your post gave me flashbacks to my youth.  I had permission to fish every farm pond within three miles of my home, of which there were many. I rigged up rod holders on my bike handle bars using black water pipe (PVC would work now) wired in place to carry them vertically and strapped my tackle box to the luggage rack. The only issue was dodging overhead branches with the rods. 

In years gone by I used to ride my 1960 BMW to the ocean with a rod or 2 strapped to it plus the tackle box.  On the way home I usually had a gunny sack full of fish tied to it also.  I also rode my Husky on the trails of the High Sierra with a fly rod bungeed to the handle bars to catch golden trout.
