Has anyone looked at or bought the Wychwood Fly Tying Bag - it looks like a copy of a JW Outfitters Pro II. I'm off to Montana in July and I would like to take a tying kit with me..  |

To answer my own question, I was in Foxons this morning picking up some stuff and I bought one - it is a copy of the JW Outfitters Ultimate II Fly Tying Bag ( www.3m.com/us/home_leisure/scianglers/cases_tying.jhtml), I guess that Wychwood must have bought the pattern when JW Outfitters went bust. Nicely made bag, except for the 4 plastic tubes to hold spools of thread - they looked like a 2 year old had stuck them together, no problem about 10 minutes work and I fixed that. If anyone is interested, then let me know and I'll post some pictures of the layout of the bag. |

Best fly tying travel bag I've seen is the Fishpond one. Excellent design.

I second the Fishpond Coyote fly tying kit bag. It is the one I purchased after looking over the field.

The fishpond one is nice but I use a small draw cord velvet bag which measurers 3 x 5 inches! Beat of all it only costs £0:40. It takes it all vice scissors tools materials the lot. All you have to do is think about your tools and materials very carefully. I base my kit on being able to tie 12 of any fly I would want for where I'm going. That is as many as I will use in any 3 normal trips so I don't run out of a pattern if I tie them all up.   If you must carry too much gear then the fish pond is a nice piece of kit, though not inexpensive. Cheers, Alan. |
