Your buddy Mikey Wier is on Patagonia's fly fishing page.
i use the patagonia pack-vest; when i head out i usually make it an all or most of the day affair. it works for me, carries lunch, rain jacket, all the gear i need (but stripped to essentials) and sometimes a full wineskin. i love it.
as for shirts i have a light blue columbia (that matches the summer NM and CO skies) with a few pockets that are large enough for a fly box and are actually handy. but i hear you about unnecessary pockets and stuff.
Fishing clothes need to be functional. When I guide I bring a backpack with everything including spare reel, boga etc. When I am by myself I have a multi tool with a hook sharpener built in and a roll of fluro carbon tippett and some flies. I do keep a couple of flies tied with wire leader in my hat just in case for barracuda. I like columbia fishing shirts, I like any t-shirt with a chest pocket. Off-shore I wear old t-shirts, cause they get bloody from ahi and mahi.
When I am trout fishing I tend to bring more stuff, just cause you need more flies, dries, nymphs etc. I used to think vests were cool, but I will only wear a mid vest now. When I am on small streams, it is back to being a minimialist, box of flies and a hemostat. I love wet wading and just heading up stream on a little creek.
I have a waterproof camera that I take out, but mostly for clients and friends. Lately I catch fish and just let them go, and never even think about taking a picture. This week I got about 7 bonefish, and didn't take a picture of any. Next week I will be on Oahu, if I get a big one I might take a picture and post for you guys. I used to post a lot, but now I just like to fish for my own pleasure.
Good to have you back Twoshoes. If you have a shirt with too many pockets, then the wife will complain when she finds flies in the laundry, for some reason they always end up in her panties! Mems.
why thank you mems.Originally Posted by mems
I appreciate that more than you know. oftimes I feel like a pariah here, despite years and years of loyalty and participation.
and yes I have that problem too.
I just don't understand pockets that are too small to get my hands into. that's just ridiculous.
you're not a pariah dude. i, and i bet many others, appreciate your opinions.
