Fred's Fishing Bag

When Fred was a younger man, he purchased a Swedish military surplus gas mask bag for a few bucks at a pawn shop but then used it almost every day to go fly fishing. It fit just the essentials for him, a reel, a fist-full of flys and maybe a sandwich. After many years of hard use and love and endless fishing stories, the 60+ year old canvas was worn out. Fred asked me to recreate his favorite fishing bag and this is what we came up with.
