Trout Vests
While trout-fishing vests are not imperative for everyone, they do provide a very simple and convenient alternative to lugging around tackle boxes or other cumbersome means of transporting equipment. Equipped with several pockets of different sizes and types of accessibility, a fishing vest can be a very nice asset to have, especially for those who tend to be more mobile and don’t like having to carry a lot of things around with them.
Vests really come in handy for those who prefer to fly-fish as they contain a patch of cotton-like material on the breast pocket, which is used for holding flies and/or lures. While it may not be a necessity for everyone, especially those on a budget just starting out, the convenience of a trout fishing vest is something you won’t want to be without for long. |

Patagonia Fishing PFD Vest
The Fishing PFD Vest by Patagonia is an air-conditioned, trim-fitting Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that doubles as a basic fishing vest.
For casting to surface-feeding bonito in a kayak or for sampling the eddies as they pass by your drift boat, this USCG-approved Type III personal flotation device (PFD) doubles as a trim-fitting, highly functional air-conditioned fishing vest.
And it now comes with Gaia foam that's lighter than conventional foam and free of CFC ozone-depleting materials - without sacrificing performance.
Deft adjustment points, die-cut/hand-skived foam and an open-mesh back keep the profile slim (and cool and comfortable to wear, even in a high-backed boat or float tube). The low neckline, narrow chest and short waist create large armholes for unimpeded casting. Details: adjustable shoulder and side straps, two large flapped pockets with piggyback mesh pockets and two D-rings. Imported.
