How to Choose a Fishing Vest
Fly fishing vests are an essential part of your fly fishing equipment. With the different styles of fishing such as dry fly and wet fly, to carry gear for each style required can become quite a load. In order to keep everything organized and within reach a good quality fly fishing vest will make the fishing experience far more enjoyable.
As a case in point a days outing on a remote river requires that you carry a certain amount of gear. The fishing may differ, from fishing swift flowing water where you are fishing perhaps with a heavy nymph, or to slow deep pools using a sinking line and wet fly. You may also come across areas that you could use a dry fly or tiny nymphs such as back washes and incoming creeks. All of these situations require different lines and fishing flies. Nothing is worse than to find trout suddenly coming on to a dry fly and all you have is sinking lines with you.
Dependent on the amount of time you have you may also want to something to sustain you. When I spend a day on the river I usually take lunch, a small billy and gas cooker if the area to be fished was in a fire restricted area. Also foul weather gear and spare clothing in the way of light weight but warm polypropelene shirt, socks and leggings. All of this gear requires a serious, good quality fly fishing vest.
Not only is the fly fishing vest a great way to keep your gear organized, but also makes sure that you have everything you need. By setting up your vest properly you can leave everything inside ensuring that the next time you venture out everything is where it should be. Get used to keeping the same things in each pocket so you can unconciously locate whatever it is you desire. All vests these days have plenty of pockets and compartments to keep whatever it is you need. Camera pouch, cell phone compartments, sunglasses, fly boxes, the list goes on.
Most fishermen will have need for different fly vests. Myself I have two, one I use for fishing from a boat, canoe or where i know what to expect such as local lakes rivers an streams. This is a lighter vest for basic gear such as fly boxes, leaders, a spare spool, and perhaps an extra reel. On the other side is a full day pack / vest that can house various reels, lines and apparatus for a long day hike.
Obviously the fishing vest you choose will suit your style of fishing, be prepared to spend a little extra and opt for quality vests such as a simms fishing vest, Like the rest of your fly equipment good quality will give years of enjoyment and fond memories.
