Abstract: A ground mountable fishing rod holder comprising an elongate stake member having a lower portion thereof insertable into the ground and an upper portion receiving a fishing rod. A ground brace member pivotally engages the stake member at one side thereof and a rod support member slidably and pivotally engages the stake member at the opposite side and coacts with the upper portion of the stake member to support a fishing rod in an upright fishing position. Said ground support and rod support members are thereby foldable against opposite sides of the stake member whereby to permit the fishing rod holder to be collapsed to a relatively flattened arrangement for storage.
