The Side Channel is built for the days when you want your essentials tight, organized, and within reach. Run it as a standalone pouch for quick missions, or add it to your main fishing bag when you need a little extra capacity without changing your whole setup.
Inside, you’ve got space for the core stuff plus a full velcro loop panel that can act as a fly patch, an admin panel, or a home base for your own velcro-backed accessories. The included removable elastic organizer strip helps you dial it in. The drop-down front panel doubles as a small workstation for rigging, swapping flies, or keeping things from ending up in the river.
Up front, the stretch pockets swallow the small essentials like tippet and floatant. Around back, a quick-access magnetic pocket is perfect for forceps or anything you’re grabbing all day. And if it ever takes a spill, the structured foam helps it float.
