almost everything you need for a day on the water
This kit is made up of pretty much everything that we carry in our pack when we head out for a day of river fly fishing.
You will have a box of flies that catch fish, and enough terminal tackle (the stuff that runs out like tippet and floatant) to last you the next year.
If your new to the sport then this is a great way to make sure you spend more time fishing and less time questioning whether your doing the right thing.
faq's
Are your bags waterproof?
Our bags are not totally waterproof, very few are. But they are pretty damn close. This bag has two layers of waterproof fabric for extra protection.
What can I fit in this bag?
This is a hard question to answer as so many things are different shapes and sizes. However, we can easily fit a couple of spools of tippet, a big C&F fly box and a couple of smaller boxes too. It takes more than enough for a great day on the water.
Do you really only make 25 bags a week?
We sure do! 25 bags is our maximum capacity and we have no interest in making more than that. It means we can take great care over every detail in all stages of production.
Think 25 bags sounds like a lot? It's not. Rolls Royce actually make over 60 cars per week.
Can I customise this bag?
Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. It depends on the product. If you want to know more, send us an email and let us know what product you would like to personalise, along with what sort of personalisation you would like.
made by amy
We insist on working with great people who share our values, and our lead bag maker Amy is one of a kind.
With 20+ years of experience, she makes all our bags, with the help of a small team, from her studio in the Suffolk countryside.
british made since 1880
British Millerain have been waterproofing and dyeing fabrics for over 140 years. The dry-waxed canvas we use is a 8oz cotton canvas, which has been impregnated with a unique wax blend for increased water repellency.
waterproof lining
We use a waterproof polyester lining in a hi-vis orange. This combines with our water resistant waxed outer fabric to help keep your gear safe, dry and easy to find.
great zips = 50 hours of research
We don't like zips, they tend to be the first thing that breaks on a bag. So when it came to finding a zip for our Universal Pack we knew it had to be something special.Eventually we chose a Riri AQUAzip®. These zippers are weatherproof, super hard-wearing, and made in Switzerland.
our impact
We feel personally responsible for the things we put out into the world and believe business should be a force for good.
to keep our impact low we:
→ Only make 25 bags a week
→ Will repair your bag for life
→ Will recycle your bag at the end of its life
→ Carbon offset all that we make and do. We plant trees locally (we actually plant
them) and in places where they will have a big impact with the help of Ecologi.

don't just take our word for it
We've been featured in some of the worlds best publications and have awesome customers who leave us reviews like the ones below.
I bought this as when wading, or even bank fishing all day, I wanted something to support my lower back to save it from aching. Having seen the quality of the bags etc that Oscar & Nell sell already, I didn't hesitate buying the belt. It is so well made with quality materials, the clasp is like nothing you can buy elsewhere, and I just know it will last. The design is well thought out, as I knew it would be, with a net holder etc. I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a quality wading belt, the fact it can be used to hold the net and has D rings for other things to be attached is an added bonus.
Extremely well made and great service from Oscar. It's Great to be able to buy something locally made that will last forever. Thanks
Excellent customer service, great product
Fits the big sea trout box or the summer dry fly gear with space for sunglasses etc too!
Beautifully made functional pack for fly fishing.
