    Just had to empty my waistcoat to give it a wash. The smell was starting to become a bit much :eek:

    Any after doing that I realised how little I have in it but Im rarely found wanting when on the river bank so maybe I've struck a good balance.

    I have - spare spool with flyline (intermediate), three spools of leader, snips, floatant, two fly boxes (wets and dry's/sedges) and salmon licence.

    Whats in yours?!

    Hi all. First post here.
    In my jacket i have 1 small flybox with mostly sedges, a scissors forceps, bottle of gink, little tub of fullers earth,3 +4 lb tippet, a spare tapered leader and a small torch.
    Sounds like a lot but fits in 2 pockets of my jacket.Enough for an evening session on the barrow in carlow.

    Dry box, nymph box, leech and lure box, 2 or 3 spools of mono for leaders, floatmix, sinkmix, small forceps, club card/permits, polaroids (they go on and off like yo-yos when the sun comes out or fades), jungle formula.
    Optionals: line winder with 2 extra lines - mostly for stillwater fishing.
