Top Ten Accessories For The Riverbank 2020 

You're going to lose your forceps if you don't attach a lanyard to them.

By the way waste-coats and other gear like shirts and jackets are often far to light in colour, great if you are catching tame stockies but wild fish see you easily, my tip to new fly fisherman is buy gear that is olive green in colour, in my case I have dyed my waste-coat with olive green dye. You chuck the dye ball and the garment in the washing machine, also do not wear sand coloured hats, olive green or buff brown , in short think special forces not a day out shopping with your wife. Sounds exaggerated but I have been fishing for nearly 50 years. They see you long before you see them, especially on clear water. Good luck, especially to new anglers, welcome aboard.

All looks good but I use a dated American style fishing vest waste-coat / vest, since the beat is 3 miles and I yomp up and down it until I am bushed, I don’t want to go back to the car so I need to get lunch, and water, and an ultra lightweight waterproof , I can get all that in the waste-coat.

This is really strange, I have only started up fishing for a year, however, I have ended up with the EXACT same layout as yourself, right down to the biopod and amadou. I have recently decided to change out the included pack and replace it with a fishpond thunderhead chest pack, I don't like the idea of falling in and drenching the tacky fly boxes. I just wish FP would release a standalone waterproof pack for the belt. I've also found a magnetic fly drying patch for the strap or bag to be useful, and a small ID wallet to display licence and membership.

Nice video thanks , regarding the mid length fishpond landing net, I have been trying to buy one for several weeks now but no one in the UK appears to have them in stock, most annoying. Once again really nice video.

And of course all my flie boxes and myriad of other stuff in the wastecot.

It looks like the tacky catch all boxes are no longer available. Which would you recommend in its place?

Great Video! Crazy question for you not about fly gear. What watch are you wearing?

The Switchback belt would it suit the angler with a larger waist (asking for a friend lol) do enjoy your videos

Nice video, I`m a flyfisher in Norway that is looking into a new pack or two and find this switchback system interesting (but not able to see or test them live since my local dealers don`t sell Fishpond). I, therefore, have questions :) How do you think this belt will work a bit higher up -like a "switchback chest pack"..? Reason is that I often use a "stripping basket" when flyfishing for seatrout/seabass... The other option for me is to use the switchback as intended, but try to connect my stripping basket to the switchback system somehow.... Or do you suggest to use another pack in combination with the stripping basket? I know a lot use slingpacks, but I don`t like the load/weight on one shoulder.. Thanks

Hi Peter from Northern California! Great info!! Can you tell me when and how you use the river mud? Thanks again.

Hi , great video ! . jus wondering the fishpond net do you think that would be suitable for use at fisheries like Dever springs and Avington ? . thanks

Thanks for the video it's great, I got my self a switcback pro and I must say it's really good. But know I am interested in a fishpond net and my question is if I buy mid range like yours, doesn't that bounds on your legs when you walk? Is that not to long ? When you have it in the back on the belt most regards J

I struggled to find a pair of Dr Slick forceps . I eventually bought the Hardy versions which are every bit as good .

Very interesting video nothing worse than having to think where is this and that! Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you.

Nice video!
