Owning a fly vest is a personal choice. You donโ€™t really have to have one to fly-fish. You can still go fly-fishing with a rod, reel, line and a few flies and in truth that is all you really need. As we mature into the sport though we tend to collect โ€œstuffโ€. This โ€œstuffโ€ consists of everything from lengths of once-used monofilament leader and torn up old flies on still-good hooks, to extra spools of specialty fly lines that we only actually use once a decade but still insist on carrying with us at all times. Packing all this paraphernalia around in the pockets of our fishing jacket just doesnโ€™t work after a while and thatโ€™s when we finally decide that we should invest in a fly vest; after all, what good is all this great stuff if we canโ€™t find what we need when we need it?
