Concealed Carry for Fishing

[GKT]

Does anyone have recommendations on the best way to carry concealed when fishing? I guess my options would be a) in my vest pocket b) shoulder rig or c) fanny pack attached to my wading belt.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Must be pretty vicious damn fish. All kidding aside stay with the fanny pack shoulder draped.

Last trip I used an Uncle Mikes belt pack with the new S&W 296 Ti .44spl. I think its the ideal fishing combo.

Get a fishing vest with an interior pocket (like you'd find in a sports coat) or sew one in.

Similar mods can be made on a life jacket.

Or stash your stainless piece in your creel.

Thanks for the advice!

Siggy...it's not so much that the fish are vicious...just elusive!

Should I be concerned about putting the revolver (probably going to be either the 442 or 296...we're thinking along the same lines!) in my vest without having it in a holster?

The biggest problem I had with the 296 is that I often forgot it was there-They are very light. If you do carry it in a vest without a holster I would use a lanyard attached to the lanyard slot in the back of the grip (nice touch by Smith).- Its not the fish, its those pesky fish lovin bears, and there are some rotten two legged critters in the woods these days to.
