Hi everyone,
Curious how many people have tried their hand at making their own fly fishing gear. I see a post every now and then, but wonder if more people have done some stuff maybe they haven't shared. I dont have time to fish as much as I would like, but have found making gear as a fun way to stay engaged, along with fly tying.
Lately I have been really taken with making my own fly fishing packs and accessories. I've made a website with a collection of free information and patterns for some projects like a net holster, fly reel case, and several packs. I've also done some non-sewing projects in the past, like a pretty effective pvc/ammo box rooftop rod carrier I made a few years ago.
Just curious if there are many others out there getting creative when not one the water. If you've made anything cool or even thought about making something in particular, I'd love to hear about it!

I have definitely thought about making my own bag and my own net holster. I am starting to get my fly boxes dialed for where I am going, so I don’t really need a sling bag or hip bag most of the time unless I’m going to be out all day and need to bring lunch.
A 2-3 liter max sling musette with a D-ring for a tippet holder would be great.
