Lanyards - I got lanyards .... several on my vest. Also got a number of zingers (retracting cords) on my vest. Being an old sailor and a forgetful person I know that water has a secret magnetic force for anything not attached. Most of my fly boxes and my Abel Multi-tool and my home made fly holder are either attached to my vest with a short lanyard or zinger. No more loosing fumbled tools in the water or brush. No more leaving fly boxes sitting on a rock. Or floating down the river while I am bent over unhooking my prized captured piscator.
No lanyard around the neck though. Not enough storage space. I guess I am a girly man in that respect. I need pockets and I have to have those pockets stuffed with something. Like a LED flashlight, stomach pump, upteen fly boxes, Thermometer, fishing license folder, fluor tippet reels, mono tippet reels, water bottle, rain jacket, kleenix pack, head ache pills, spare leaders, removable sink tips, spare reading glasses, abel multi tool, homemade fly holder, Dropper setup holders, several yarn indicators, bright orange indicator balls, spare rubber bands for the indicator balls, Trash picked up from the river and trail. ........ No wonder I am tired at the end of a day of fishing. Makes for a strong back though.
