A Fishing Creel for Every Occasion
Classic fly fishing creels, including classic split willow creels, are available in two sizes, including 12 and 16-inch models, with the option to add a traditional leather or synthetic leather harness. Manufactured from various components, most from the USA, with only the basket portion being manufactured in Kashmir.
Two of the most prevalent creels include:
- Classic Split Willow Fishing Creel: Available to buy with or without a leather harness, this fishing creel comes in two handy sizes. Each basket is hand-woven using quality materials that promise to stand the test of time.
- Standard Split Willow Creel with Strap: Another popular option, especially for those looking for a slightly smaller basket. This fully functional basket comes with an ergonomically designed webbing shoulder strap.
Caring for your Fly Fishing Creel
As willow naturally grows in a wet environment, it’s a dab hand at withstanding water, which makes it an ideal choice for creel baskets and keen anglers. For best results, clean your fishing creel after each use:
- Empty the basket’s contents after use, removing anything that may rot or damage the basket.
- Hose down your creel basket using a soft cloth.
- Store your fly fishing creel in a dry, cool place. This will prevent it from becoming damaged. Similarly, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for lengthy periods as this can cause changes in hue, especially to the leather strap.
Follow the above tips and tricks, and your creel basket will last as long as your fly fishing endeavors.
