Welcome to the Yellowstone Angler on-line fly shop catalog!

This is the most highly funtional and user freindly vests we've seen.    It has 21 pockets for various items including thermolaminated pockets for your tippet and anything else you want to keep dry. The larger pockets are pre-formed with good velcro closures.   Designed with a high density nylon and covered by DuPont Teflon fabric protecter, this vest has lots of unique and useful features like the two simms retractors built-in.   On the back you have one large pocket for a rain jacket but also a smaller pocket up high, where you can store a sandwich, extra reel spools or a small bottle of water.   Our most popular vest.  

If you like carrying big fly boxes and are sick of not being able to get them out of your pockets easily, then you will love this vest!     Designed with two massive vertical pockets built specifically for large boxes and 17 other small pockets for whatever else you might need.  Made of the same great material as the G3 vest, it wears like iron.   This vest is the best steelhead/salmon vest we've seen.   

The classic look of a guide vest is still around and just as funtional as ever.  Simms time proven design and traditional look lives on with 20 front, back, and interior pockets.  George had some input into the design of this vest, in terms of the size and placement of the pockets.   It is still one of our favorite vests.  The new fabric is heavier and will hold up for years and years.  On the back you have one large pocket for a rain jacket but also a smaller pocket up high, where you can store a sandwich, extra reel spools or a small bottle of water.  The hidden retractors are ideal for clippers or forceps

This pack will keep your equipment dry in a monsoon!   The roll top closure keeps the seems concealed and away from soaking up the moisture.  The splash proof front outer pocket is perfect for a camera when you need to get to it quickley.  The aeromesh padded shoulder straps and lumbar back support makes it comfortable to wear all day long and keeps it feeling light on the shoulders.   Since this pack is airtight when rolled up and secured, its buoyancy can be a life-saver if you take a dive in big water.   This is our favorite pack for those Alaska fishing trips when you need to carry extra clothing, rain gear and camera equipment and you can't afford to get any of it wet. 

Why have a chest pack and a hip pack when you can have both in one? You may wonder why you would want the versitility of both? Its actually fairly simple.  In the hip pack mode it is more comfortable to hike and wade shallow creeks or walk the flats, however we all know that sometimes we need wade deep to throw at the monster feeding under that cut bank on the far side of the river.   Simply hang this from your neck and clip the belt around your chest and you're in business.    

The detachable belt allows it to be used as a small gear bag or a fanny back.  The belt is designed to give you enough support to keep you back in line when you're on long day hikes into remote locations.  It has amazing amount of room due to the large bellowed pockets on the interior.  The roll top design closure will keep your tackle dry in a driving rainstorm. 

Lightweight is the name of the game here yet it is large enough to hold two large fly boxes. The small exterior front pocket is perfect for a couple of spools of tippet and leaders.  Built in retractors on both sides are perfect for your nippers and release tool.  This small pack is perfect for the minimalist or saltwater guru.  When you know what you are stalking and what's going to work there is no need to take anymore then you need.  Another great feature is that it connects easily to the Dry Creek Backpack when you need more gear or are out on an overnighter.

For years guides have tried to find a way to keep their camera dry so they can find a way to provide the pictures of the trip of a lifetime.  This small, completely waterproof bag is quick and easy to use.  Simply slip your belt through the loops on back and you'll never lose it.   No more zip-lock bags!
