Abstract: A fishing rod holder which is compact and easily mounted and demounted with respect to the clothing of the fisherman, particularly trousers, with or without a belt. The present invention is composed of a pressure distributing back plate, a fishing rod handle receptacle mounted to a front side of the back plate, and a clothing connection member connected with the back side of the backing plate for releasably securing the backing plate to the fisherman's clothing. The preferred structure of clothing connection member is a lip which is structured to slip over the trousers or belt and trousers of the fisherman. It is preferred that the fishing rod handle receptacle be angled relative to the baking plate so that the fishing rod when mounted thereto will assume a comfortable, customary angle normally used for fishing so that the fishing pole will perform optimally. The back plate may include a centrally disposed recess which accommodates the fly button, clasp or the like of the fisherman's trousers.
