Fly Patch

Precision in fly fishing often comes down to how quickly and effectively you can manage your gear when the water is active and the hatch is on.

Simplifying your stream-side workflow requires minimalist tools that offer immediate access to your flies without adding unnecessary weight to your kit.

Genuine Texas Shearling for Secure Fly Retention

Keep the fish close and your flies closer with this essential Fly Patch, a small but mighty accessory designed for the serious angler. By clipping this directly onto your waders, vest, or belt, you gain an instant, secure docking station for your hooks, allowing you to swap patterns in seconds. The core of the patch features authentic Texas shearling, known for its superior ability to grip and hold hooks firmly in place, ensuring that even your smallest midges or largest streamers stay exactly where you put them until you are ready to cast.

Streamlining your equipment keeps you focused on the drift rather than digging through cluttered fly boxes in the middle of a run.

Rugged X-Pac Construction and Modular Portability

Beyond its reliable gripping surface, this patch is built to withstand the realities of river environments. The base is crafted from X-Pac nylon featuring a DWR (durable water repellent) laminate, ensuring the patch remains lightweight and resists moisture even in the splash zones. Finished with durable anodized aluminum hardware, it offers a refined, minimalist aesthetic that pairs perfectly with any technical angling setup. Proudly made in the USA, this tool is designed to endure season after season of heavy use, providing a clean, accessible workspace wherever your waders take you.

How to Use the Fly Patch

To begin, utilize the integrated attachment point to clip the Fly Patch securely to a D-ring on your waders, chest pack, or belt strap. When you remove a fly from your main storage box, simply press the hook into the Texas shearling surface; the natural fibers will grasp the hook point securely, preventing it from falling out while you move through the brush or change your setup. To retrieve the fly, pull it gently from the shearling base. After your fishing day, allow the shearling to air dry naturally to maintain the integrity of the natural fibers.

FAQs Regarding the Fly Patch

Will the shearling hold both large streamers and small dry flies?

Yes, Texas shearling is highly versatile. It is dense enough to hold the barbed hooks of large streamers securely, yet gentle enough that it won’t damage the hackle or delicate wings of small dry flies.

Is the patch completely waterproof?

While the X-Pac backing and DWR laminate are highly water-resistant, the shearling is a natural material. It will not be damaged by getting wet, but we recommend letting it air dry periodically to ensure the hooks remain clean and corrosion-free.

Can I attach this to my existing fly fishing pack?

Absolutely. The patch includes a secure attachment point that is compatible with virtually all standard D-rings, webbing loops, and gear attachment points found on modern fly fishing waders and utility packs.

How do I clean the shearling if it gets dirty?

Simply use a soft brush to remove any debris or river sediment that may accumulate in the fibers. Avoid using harsh chemical soaps, as these can strip the natural oils from the shearling and affect its gripping performance.
