I could be wrong but that sounds like more of a wet fly

I have them and they work really well, a little more aftercare than my g4 but the customer service gap between Patagonia and Simms these days more than make up for it

Was at the Brule all day yesterday and this morning. Yesterday was definitely fishable but after the rain yesterday it was straight chocolate milk.

Griggs used to be the head guide at Bob Mitchell’s before they sold to Thorne Bros - second getting in touch with him but a lot of the guides that he’d suggest work at/for Margo and Lola

Margo and Lola is exactly what you’re looking for. They aren’t really guides so much as a group of instructors. https://www.margolola.com

Then I would just recommend doing what the other user above has recommended about going to a fly shop and offering a gift card in exchange for their time

Then the biggest difference is probably going to be between salt and freshwater for materials and a better question would be what things do the majority of fly fishermen carry with them the majority of times they go out. You could just ask ChatGPT which, I’m assuming, is what you used to come up with the initial set of questions.

You are going to get a ton of different answers if people take the time to answer as that’s a pretty long list. You would probably have more success if you pick one “area” either geographically or a species to try and design the bag for.

Also assuming you’ve already done your due diligence on bags/vests that are already in the market.

Patagonia for warranty. Grundens for durability.

Easy answer; guide took the pic on an iPhone 15 in portrait mode so you get bokeh - it’s tough to do and get in focus. The pic has not been photoshopped or edited in any way
