Not sure if this is an innovation but I put some of that tape for your thumb or fingers 12'', 14'', 22'' and 28'' up on my fishing rod so I can easily determine if the fish are legal or not. Has been on there for about 2 months. Im sure electric tape would work good too.

I was thinking of actually using a magic marker to make very small hashmark lines on the side of my yak as a ruler. Same idea...

I did that last year after going out the first day with nothing to measure with. I made the marks, with abbreviations at each mark for which fish that measurement was for. Useful tool for an old man with a bad memory.

I always mark my Kayak with lengths that are important. I use a perm. marker and I start at an easy location and then mark all the way up to 32" I have tried those stick on rulers, and they have not worked too well. I have carried a ruler thing with me and it's just another gaget on to have to carry. Mark your boat and even if you sell the thing it's marked for the guy buying it from you. If needs be the marker can be taken off also.

I have the stick-on ruler on my paddle. Easy to move it to the fish or the fish to it.
