In addition to the clothing and your basic outfit there are many fly fishing accessories that you should have for fly fishing. Some of these fly fishing accessories may seem strange. But when wading, it is necessary to have all of your gear and tools with you.

Let’s dive right in.

Fly Fishing Accessories to Have

You already have your fly fishing vest with plenty of large pockets, because that is part of a fly fisherman’s basic wardrobe. You might want to put a patch of sheepskin on the front of the vest where you can keep alternative flies handy.

Among your fly fishing accessories you should also have a spring-loaded retractable spool that attaches to your vest to hold a pair of nail clippers.

They come in very handy for trimming knots. You might want to attach a patch of rubber for straightening leaders. Ideally, the vest should have a large back pocket to carry light rain gear.

The Net

Some vests also have a ring at the back of the collar. Where you can attach the net to keep it out of the way.

Fly Boxes

The choice of your fly boxes is very important. One should have large compartments where you can store dry flies without crushing their hackles. You should also have one or two smaller boxes with foam linings and metal clips.

These are for holding your fly fishing accessories such as wet flies, nymphs, and streamers. Having a couple of small vials to hold your dry flies after catching a fish also comes in very handy.

Spare Spool

A spare spool for your reel, already loaded with backing and line, is a good idea to have with you.

Also a few spools of monofilament leader material, a leader wallet, a sharpening tool, and a Swiss Army knife are important for the fly fisherman to have within easy reach.

Essential Fly Fishing Accessories

Insect repellent is essential when fly fishing. The main ingredient in many insect repellents is DEET, which is an industrial solvent. It can damage the varnish on your fly rod, eat away the finish on your fly line, weaken your leaders and destroy your rain gear.

If you do use an insect repellent with DEET be very careful of what it touches. And try to limit its use. There are many products today that do not contain that solvent.

Polarized Sunglasses

Having a good pair of polarized sunglasses will help you to see the fish and protect your eyes from the damaging rays of the sun. It’s also important to have a small pocket flashlight with a flexible neck.

This can be very useful for many things including changing flies at dusk or dawn. Other useful fly fishing accessories include a thermometer, a small container of split shot, a good knife with several blades, and a small first aid emergency kit.

Fly Fishing Accessories and a Wading Staff

Many fishermen like to take a collapsible wading staff with them while fly fishing. It helps them to keep their footing if they are wading in a heavy current or on a slippery, rocky bottom.

Holding Your Fish

A small cotton mesh net with a short handle comes in handy for netting your fish. If you intend to keep your catch a small canvas or woven willow basket for holding your fish will work well.

The Choices of Fly Fishing Accessories

There are many other fly fishing accessories available for fly fishing today. Many of the choices depend on each fisherman’s personal preferences.

Now I’d like to hear from you.
