A custom fly fishing van is designed with the specific needs of anglers in mind, starting with specialized rod and reel storage. Fly rods, being delicate and often long, require secure storage to prevent damage. Custom rod storage compartments in the van are crafted to hold fully assembled rods, allowing you to easily grab your gear and hit the water without the need for re-rigging. These storage spaces are padded and include clips or slots to secure reels and prevent tangling. With designated rod storage, your valuable fly fishing gear is safe, organized, and ready for use at a moment’s notice.

Another key feature is wet wader storage, which addresses the often messy reality of returning from the water with soaked gear. Custom-built waterproof storage areas or drying cabinets allow you to stow your wet waders, boots, and jackets without worrying about the rest of your van getting damp. These areas are ventilated or heated to help your gear dry quickly, ensuring it’s ready for your next fishing session. Having a dedicated space for wet gear helps keep the van clean and ensures your equipment stays in top condition.

In addition to gear storage, the van is designed with a comfortable sleeping and eating area. Whether you’re spending the night at a remote fishing spot or taking a break between casts, the van offers a cozy bed to rest after a long day on the river. Compact yet functional kitchens include essential amenities like a stove, fridge, and sink, so you can easily prepare meals. The layout is designed to maximize space, allowing for a relaxing and convenient living area where you can unwind, refuel, and plan your next fishing adventure.

For fly fishing enthusiasts who enjoy the art of crafting their own flies, a custom van can also include a small fly-tying station. This area is designed with adequate lighting, a secure surface for tying, and storage for tying materials such as hooks, threads, and feathers. Whether you’re tying new flies in preparation for the next day’s catch or repairing existing ones, this station provides the perfect setup. It adds another layer of functionality, turning your van into a fully-equipped mobile fly fishing base, complete with everything you need for a successful trip.
