A buoyant container or basket which permits wading fishermen to spend extended time in the water with all of their gear ready at hand in a manner which also prevents interference with the wading fisherman\s freedom of movement. The buoyant container or basket is constructed as a hollow tubular frame defining a continuous loop filled with buoyant material. A porous container body or basket in which fishing gear can be housed depends from the frame. Hooks on the frame hold a flexible net cover or bungee cords over the articles contained in the basket to prevent loss, and rod holders are provided for extra rods.
