There is an old golfing quote from famous golfer Lee Trevino, was was hit by lightening a couple of times.
" In a storm hold your one iron above your head, because even god can't hit a one iron".
I suppose the must be a fly rod equivalent of a one iron.

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685
Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts

Make a Faraday cage out of wire (such as heavy chicken wire) that goes over your boat and dips into the water on each side of it. Try not to be in contact with the hull in more than one place so that electricity does not use you as a pathway.
Stay away from trees if you can. They can explode when struck.

Lightning, elephants and snakes, all in one day in your average fishery. There could have been tigers lurking at the bank too so I guess you're doing alright. No worries there.
As for me, I wouldn't have stop running until I got to the southern tip of Malaysia.

There are only about 50 tigers here, so I'm unlikely to see one. But apparently they do swim.

Definitely build a faraday cage! Your safest bet Paul!! Condoms won't work.....

Condoms will work, they just need a thicker skin:

Why did the Irishman wear three condoms? To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.
I'm not building a faraday cage, FFS! I'll take my chances with God. What could possibly go wrong?
