Quick take
A traditional hand-woven willow creel, sized for trout and panfish, with a web strap for hands-free carrying while wading.
This is a traditional 16-inch creel woven from split willow and finished with lacquer. A leather latch strap closes the lid, and a web shoulder strap lets you carry it along the bank. It suits fly anglers who like a classic way to carry a trout catch, and the top opening lets you drop fish in quickly. It weighs about 3 pounds.
