Traveling anglers are a special breed. Not only do they love fly fishing, they will travel to fish, and often to tropical saltwater destinations. As a rule, saltwater fly fishing and fishing travel require an entirely different set of equipment, depending on species and destination, but there are many things that every angler will appreciate while travelling. Here's our staff's top ten picks for the 2020/2021 season.
