With fishing life vests like this, there is no reason not to wear a life vest when fishing.

The Chinook Fishing PFD from NRS has a bunch of pockets with pockets stacked on pockets. What a way to stash fishing gear like pliers, flies, spools of line and other stuff.

The vest features a front-entry design with eight adjustment points let you customize the fit for comfort and security; a ventilated back panel that is slimmed down low for better comfort in kayaks with high seatbacks; eight front pockets for everything from small tackle boxes to tippets; and a front left pocket, which also includes a key lanyard.

The vest also has rod holder loops, a mini lash tab for pin-on, retractable accessories, fly drying patch and multiple D-rings and attachment loops.

Too many anglers forgo wearing a life vest because they believe they are uncomfortable and they can't wear their fishing vest with a life vest. Well, no excuses. This life vest fits the bill.
