PACK VS SLING VS VEST

When it comes to fly fishing, choosing the right gear storage option is important for convenience and functionality. The choice between a pack, sling, or vest depends on personal preference, the amount of gear you plan to carry, and the fishing conditions you'll encounter.

  • Pack: Backpack-style with ample storage, suitable for carrying a lot of gear and additional items. Ideal for longer trips or hiking to fishing spots.
  • Sling: Single-strap bag worn over one shoulder and across the chest, offering quick access to essentials. Great for minimalist anglers or less demanding conditions.
  • Vest: Classic choice with numerous pockets and compartments worn like a regular vest. Provides easy access to gear and popular among traditional anglers, especially for wading.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A QUALITY LANDING NET

Having a quality landing net is crucial in fly fishing for several reasons:

  • Safely landing and minimizing harm to the fish.
  • Preventing injury by providing support and reducing stress.
  • Protecting the fish's delicate fins, scales, and slime coat.
  • Facilitating quick and safe fish release, especially with features like rubberized or knotless mesh.

SHORT VS LONG HANDLE LANDING NETS

Considerations for handle length in landing nets:

  • Short Handle: Ideal for light travel and tight spaces, less likely to snag on vegetation.
  • Long Handle: Provides extended reach, beneficial for deeper water, larger fish, or situations requiring extra reach.

CONSIDERING A WEIGH NET?

We stock a range of McLean Angling Weigh Nets, featuring built-in weighing scale mechanisms for accurate and fish-friendly catch measurements.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING FLY STORAGE BOXES

  • Size and Capacity: Choose based on the number and types of flies you carry, from small to large boxes.
  • Depth: Consider clearance for larger flies like streamers or dry flies with big hackles.
  • Waterproof: Protect flies from moisture; choose floating boxes for added security if they fall into water.
