How to select the right fly fishing bags

Fly fishing bags are just one of the important parts of your fly fishing equipment, to get the maximum benefit from your fishing trip it is important you try to keep your fly fishing equipment as dry as possible.

You should do some research online before you decide which bag is best for you, adding the right bag to your fly fishing equipment can add to your fly fishing enjoyment. Here are some tips for you to consider to help you choose the right bag for your next fly fishing trip, you should find these helpful in making an informed decision on the best fly fishing bags available.

TIP  one

One thing you should look for when choosing a bag is how durable is the bag, when we are fishing sometimes we have to climb over fences and other obstacles to get to the fish. Tree branches and barbwire could cause damage to the bag so it is important you find one that is extremely durable, some types come with an abrasion proof lining that helps to combat these problems when transporting your fishing tackle. River fishermen particularly understand the importance of a durable bag, as they do a lot of roaming around when searching for the fish.

TIP  two

Making sure your bag is equipped with plenty of pockets to fit your equipment in is also one consideration, and that you have a good access to these pockets when needed. Some types of bags come with the zip fastener on the pockets, I am not a big fan of this type as it can be difficult to open them when your hands are really cold. I much prefer the Velcro type and find these much more accessible and easier to open, you should also try to make sure the pockets on the bags are different sizes as your fishing equipment is not all the same size.

TIP  three

Waterproofing is another major consideration to have when choosing the best fly fishing bags, you need your equipment such as fly boxes, spare fishing reels, fishing lures, cameras, phones, and packed lunch all to stay dry as possible to get the maximum enjoyment out of fly fishing. Also you should consider the weight of your fly fishing bag, as sometimes when fly fishing you can be walking miles up and down the river looking for that next fish. So if you are going river fishing then look for a bag that is as lightweight as possible, making sure it has the good pockets and plenty of room for your fishing equipment.
