Re: Who Wears A Vest?
I did have a wicker creel at one point along with a metal worm container that strapped on my belt. I I even had a metal telescoping fly rod. I still have a clip on metal worm container, think I got rid of the salmon-egg-jar-belt-holder though. Never got my dad's wicker creel, I think my brother nab...

Re: Who Wears A Vest?
I wear a vest when fly fishing but carry a creel when spin fishing. Old habits die hard. OMG... a creel... you are OLD AS DIRT Dave :mrgreen: A wicker creel brings back my oldest memories of fishing as my dad used one and would come home after opening day with his trout LOL! Yeah, I am getting up t...

Re: Who Wears A Vest?
pick up a wicker creel to hold your trout and you'd be right "up there" with Dave

Re: Who Wears A Vest?
I'm not saying a vest is "bad", I still have mine, but I've just taken to storing related "stuff" in the sling packs and fanny pack so I can grab and go for trout, warmwater, or saltwater, pond, surf or river. I think if I was just focusing on fly fishing for trout, I'd still be using my vest a lot ...

Re: Who Wears A Vest?
I have a vest and wear it occasionally. I have a fanny pack as well, or a small backpack, which I use more. I just load it up with what I will be using that day. The vest hangs in the closet and hold most of fly boxes, that's really its main use. Also, I added a poll for you. Did you see the option...

Who Wears A Vest?
I don't see a way to do a "poll" here... but just curious. While I have a couple of vests, I haven't used them in years (not that I'm doing all that much fw fishing in places where I "would have" used them, but I digress...) http://state.nj.us/dep/fgw/images/trtstkfall05.jpg I've got a fanny pack an...

Re: SBRR the premier trout stream?
Thou Ken Lockwood Gorge is nice. I find other rivers just as or nicer. The lower Musky for me get much love. Imo the Musky Gorge is way nicer & lower fishing psi. The Pequest is a great contender also. Big Flat Brook is okay. But has seen its better days. Paulingskill has some nice spots in more ob...

Re: I Need Some New Waders
No reason you can't repair those, even with a 4" tear. Cut a patch at least 5" long by maybe 2" wide and use Aqua Seal. I once tore about a 3" gash in what at the time was a brand new pair of Simms G3s on a Hyde driftboat anchor cleat getting out quickly to fight a big brown that took my line under...

You can do worse (a skunk ) than a bluefish.
Sandy Hook, late May, outgoing tide, at the rip... can have epic flyfishing times out there
