Back before there were fishing vests, old timers had to fill their pockets and carry everything else in small bags over their shoulders.  Legendary Lee Wulff had a better idea<\/g> designing the first fishing vest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sewing by hand<\/g> he invented the legendary Royal Wulff vest. Even though decades have gone by fishing vest still look the same today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays vests are such a common sight on streams across the country that it would be hard to imagine a time without them. With a gazillion different pockets to stuff all those weird fishing doo-dads you’ve acquired throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Your First Fishing Vest
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we picture fishing vests most of us picture pockets.  Big pockets, little pockets, inside, outside and everywhere in between.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t carry a tackle box out into the middle of the river.  So your vest quickly turns into your make shift tackle box to accomodate the myriad of items you need quick access to.

You need to know where everything is without second guessing<\/g> yourself. \u00a0There\u2019s no \u201clets wade back to shore I need to fumble through my bag\u201d, fishing vests give you immediate access to all your gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything You Need<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We know that you probably have loads of random gear that you’ve acquired over the years. Bringing everything under the kitchen sink might be fine when fishing by boat, but that just doesn’t work out on the river. We recommend that you take as little as you can, waders need to travel light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
