Fly Fishing Vest

[crappiecrazy]

Hello,
I would like to buy a vest. I fish mostly from a pontoon boat and wade fish for warmwater fish. Which of the 3 vest would you pick? I normally wear suspender life jacket when fishing from pontoon boat. Thanks,


Tom

The first one looks too bulky. The other two are about the same.

I'd pick that chest pack if I were fishing from a pontoon boat or a float tube.

When I pontoon I use the pouches on the 'toon for most of my stuff. Clips for zingers and net hook are all attached too. I don't want anything in the way of my PFD if I have to use it. When wading, I use a fanny pack for tackle. Only time I use a vest is on small brushy creeks where the fanny pack gets caught. Jim

I did a search for "fly vest" and might need to reconsider. May be better off with a snuff can and a denim shirt with big pockets.

I use my tube for muskie in the summer and don't wear a vest. I stuff the side pouches of the tube with all my gear.

Chris,
My "tube" may be a little redneck but I love it!
