Options in Fly Fishing Chest Packs
Alternatives to Traditional Fly Fishing Vests
Even if it's getting a tad raggedy, Perry Brinkley still treasures his fly fishing chest pack. "Actually I'm shocked at how well it has held up," the local football coach admitted.|

Brinkley added, "You generally see that guys go with what best fits their needs. Some prefer chest packs over a mesh vest, the waist fishing vest or the traditional fly fishing vest even." "The big difference with a chest pack is the number of compartments and pockets you get. Since you're going to depend on it to hold you important 'stuff' you want to choose wisely. And go with one that is well made and able to stand up to whatever you'll throw at it." |
Things to think about when shopping for one.
1_ Don't cut corners and get a "cheap" one. Often there is not much difference between the price of a a really nice one that will hold up and a chintzy one.
2_ Even thought these are one-size-fits-all make sure it fits you .
3_ Decide what you need and how you plan to use it and find the chest pack that has the pockets, straps and what you need. Are you looking for storage for fly boxes, tippet spools, and other fishing accessories? Or just smaller items.
4_ You want one that's light weight and doesn't interfer with casting.
5_ Can you conveniently access your gear easily?
6_ Often there is a primary pocket up front. With nooks and crannies for organized storage. Secured with straps to keep everything safely tucked away.
7_ How are pockets sealed? If with zippers look for duel zippers with tabs that are big enough to be grabbed easily. Even with wet or cold fingers. Others use velcro or snaps. 8_ Do you want to be able to strap rolled up rain gear or a fleece jacket maybe?
Perry concluded, "Hey, fly fishing chest packs make a great addition to any angler's gear."
