My flyfishing vest

[thorarinna]

Hi.
I've got a very strange question, hmm.

I have a fishing vest from Scierra, it's bothering me that there is one thing on it I don't know I should/could use it for

It has a velcro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro) fastening in the upper part, but the "hooks" are all facing inward, there is a small pease of velcro that comes with it, mabe 1cm x 4cm, it can be fastened with the other velcro.
I don't know if you understand my description, the velcro is as I said with its back fasing out.

I don't have a clue what this is for

Regards,
Thorarinn.

Could it be used to help hold your fly rod while you tie on a new fly?

This is what I was thinking. Any chance you could post a picture?

Holding Fly rod when crossing river, tying fly on, or releasing fish, etc.. any time you need two hands,

I looked at a photo of your vest in the Scierra catalogue...I presume your vest is an "AeroFlex". As I see it, in http://www.scierra.com/ecatalogue/flash.html#/38/, there is an attachment on the outside of the vest, in what would be your right upper chest, that I believe is a rod holder. On the outside of the left upper chest pocket, there is a detatchable foam patch for flies. Are you referring to either of these locations?
If not, could you post a photo? PRM

It took me forever to figure out what that was for too. My vest is not a Scierra, but I have the Velcro too.

It is for holding your rod. It is probably on your left side when you are wearing your vest? There should be a loop at the bottom of your vest on the other side. Put the butt of your rod into the loop, and then you can fasten the Velcro over the rod. This way it frees up your hands to tie knots etc.

I don't mean to highjack your thread, but I've had a 4 decade long search for the perfect fly fishing vest. I'm still looking.

Here is a picture.
No it's not a rod holder, it (the rod holder) is above this "thing".
It's the "thing" left of the flies, you can see the small piece of loose velcro that I can put inside the "thing".

The velcro is on the inside, you can see the back of it on the picture.

And BSwan, I know what you're talking about

I have made some changes to this one, even sewn in a velcro to hold the fly pad, so I have "warm feelings" toward this one and probable wan't buy a new one for a while, unless...
