The Richardson Chest Fly Box

Admittedly I am a pushover for all the different methods in carrying fly gear to the water. I've got vests, backpacks, bags, and lumbar packs that all seems to get used at least a couple of times during the course of the fishing year but what I don't have is a Richardson Chest Fly Box.

Recently two members on the Fiberglass Flyrodders forum, Fred Paddock and Tom Anderson, happened across slightly used Richardson Chest Fly Boxes and snapped them up. I asked each of them to send along a few photographs since I wanted to see the ins and outs of the chest fly box system.


After looking over these photos and then checking out the Richardson Chest Fly Box website I am really surprised how "new school" these seemingly "old school" at first glance boxes are.

The options start with several types of foam inserts, tippet dispensers and tool storage, and end with a long list of other modifications that can be made to personalize the chest fly box to your liking.

Admittedly a fully decked out chest box can get a little pricey but it can also be something that you can add to over the years as well.

Check out the Richardson Chest Fly Box website for more information.

I can highly recommend the Richardson Chest Box. They are a great piece of kit. Although I always seem to fish with a full vest on my home waters I have a Richardson Chest Box that I use when I travel. Its loaded with patterns that I use outside of my area. This year I am switching things around an plan on using mine for the close to home stuff.
