Click To Purchase

Just the Essentials
With the Middle Fork, we've transformed the traditional wader belt into a light-weight, self-contained accessory system. We began by widening and padding the belt itself to improve its looks and comfort. Then we added clip-on components like a molded nylon fly box, an accessory pouch and a mesh water bottle holder. The result is a great new concept that allows you to carry all the fishing gear you need around your waist. In addition to being a great wader belt choice, the Middle Fork is perfect for use on the saltwater flats with a pair of shorts.

Features
  • Padded wader belt with air mesh backing for a comfortable fit
  • Three clip-on components, including a molded nylon fly box, a roomy accessory pouch and a mesh water bottle holder
  • Attractive jacquard webbing accents
  • Clip-on molded fly box and mesh water bottle holder sold separately as accessories for our Blue River Chest Pack.
  • Accessories can be sold separate.
