Travel Bags to fly fish

I have converted to your recommendation of purchasing the gear/travel bag you suggest during your fly fishing class. But, I have used a old/used hockey bag that works great. You can easily find them at a yard/garage sale or resale shops at a tremendous value of $10 or less.

I purchased the travel bag as suggested in class. However, I created a OneNote checklist similar to the one distributed but added personal items such as spare prescription eyeglasses and eyeglass head strap. I still use the checklist even though I keep most items in my bag.

I agree with having one large bag. I then have my wife perform a physical inventory. If I’m missing something when I arrive I can blame her?

I carry one large duffle bag with a maximum number (6) Rubbermaid containers, and sometimes a plastic clothes basket. Did that set your teeth on edge?

On an airplane, check a rollar duffle with clothes, waders n boots. Backpack with essential reels, small kit of flies n tools, and shave kit. Rods are in a travel tube. This way, I have the critical fishing gear with me and over night supplies just in case.
Car travel, just a duffle that carries waders, boots, dry clothes.

I also purchased one of the large High Sierra bags on rollers with numerous compartments. It has worked really well. I also have a standard checklist that I print off before each trip and then check items off once I know they are in the bag. It has not failed me yet. All good advice from the great Sensi!
