Quick take
Large capacity fly box with patented silicone anchoring for all-day fishing with dry flies and nymphs.
The Fishpond Tacky Double Haul is a rectangular, two-sided fly box in Burnt Orange that holds up to 287 flies. Nymphs can go on one side and dry flies on the other, which suits a river day when the hatch keeps changing. Silicone anchoring holds the flies in place and a latchless magnetic closure keeps the lid shut. At about 8 ounces and 7 by 3.75 by 1 inches, it is a compact box for a vest pocket.
Best for
- Long days on the river with variable hatches
- Mixed presentations of nymphs and dries
- Anglers who tie or carry large fly selections
Skip if
- You fish only three or four trusted patterns
- You need a smaller box for ultralight travel
Strengths
- Massive 287-fly capacity covers almost any hatch condition
- Magnetic closure is secure and easier than latches on cold days
- Recycled plastic material reduces environmental impact
Trade-offs
- Large box adds weight and bulk to pack
- Magnetic closure can be difficult to open with cold, numb fingers
- 287 capacity means slow searches for specific patterns
