Well...it's kind of hard to follow up in this thread after PeteStiles posts a photo of his grandma in her Sunday best (HA!)...but here's another twist on the gear bag that is 20% OFF this month if you mention The Fiberglass Manifesto

Let's face it, a vest would ruin this look completely.

I don't know about navels, jigs or bead heads, but I think I saw a wolly bugger.

seeing that photo reminde me of the two blondes on opposite sides of a small pond.
"How do I get to the other side?" yelled one with the most intelligence
"Silly girl!" said the other, "You are on the other side!!".

"Do you think these ladies would prefer a purse or a vest?" Neither! They appear to be using their navels! The two ladies on the right are sporting what look like big jigs and the rest have bead heads. I've never considered using my anatomy for storing tackle, but these women are obviously thinking well beyond the vest and tackle bag.

Kudos for the young ladies in red, black, and pink. They have their licenses prominantly displayed. At least the warden won't...

What about the best deal ever...free shipping to boot. I bought two:

Actually, the Swiss Leather Half Bag (lower right) is a better deal...just cut off the leather cover and it's the same as the Flyfishing Bag.

This is what I've decided to use.

I was sold after I saw the modular configurations shown on this blog:

You're going to love that Chapman bag. I agree about the comfort factor of the wider British canvas shoulder strap versus the thinner leather strap on some American bags. But that small Duluth made shooting bag might just get my nod for saltwater fisihing. I can get by with the the smaller version and it's not too expensive (compared with another Chapman bag). Sometimes I wander a couple of miles of beach here and I usually wear a fanny pack with my lunch and water bottles. The Duluth...

Bamboozle...congrats on the purchase. Post a photo when you get it. I'm waiting (patiently) for my Hardy Test bag. Can't wait to see how I like it for trips this spring.

Thanks for the info!

I bit the bullet and ordered a Troutbeck 12 from Chapman today!!

Just an FYI; there is internet ordering available on their website with credit card processing and currency conversion so it is unfortunately just too dang easy to spend money on something else I really don't need.

Now I just have to hope it is delivered on a weekday so I can...

I agree with Bulldog about the Troutbeck ,,,, I've had mine for 5-6 years and really like it.
One other benefit ... you can carry it on the Plane when taking a trip and carry your tickets, passport, camera, med's, toiletries, etc just the small stuff you absolutely do not want to check.

the only place to buy Chapman is direct from Chapman.
Otherwise, search on ebay.
I would recommend sending an e-mail to Chapman sales and getting yourself a sales person, and get an e-mail dialogue with him.
Tell him what you want and ask for a quote (minus VAT) with airmail to the US.
You will probably have to call in order to give him a credit card.

IMO, the Troutbeck is the best of the bunch for the reasons you described. The clogballs also make for quick...

I always travel heavy but fish light leaving the lion's share of extra stuff in the trunk. I use a nylon web belt and a few slip on pouches in a system not too dissimilar from the Chapman Kennet Belt. My flies live in a Richardson Box on my chest so I have been fishing relatively unencumbered for years having not worn a vest in eons.

But I always wanted to try a small bag for small wild trout stream outings where I had a pretty good idea of what I need which is a very few flies,...

wb4tjh - don't worry, we're all confident in our manhood.
Nothing derogatory, we're just showing we can make fun of ourselves.

Yes, Hardy bags are made by Chapman, still using British labor, and short of finding a sale at Chapman, or an ebay coup, you probably won't find a better price on a top-line British canvas and leather bag than Hardy at harrissportsmail

I was checking out some Filson bags today at the local sporting goods shop. They were pretty nice, but pretty pricey too. I even tried one on.

I was thinking the bag might work pretty good for fishiing grayling in a small stream when you are packing a .44 in a chest holster.

I know this isn't directly related to glass rods, but does anyone besides me want to admit to having a favorite man purse fishing bag? I like my old Wood River bag. Come on and admit it. Some of you like a fishing purse.
