Ultimate DIY Fly Fishing Lanyard

Over the past few years of using a lanyard I have customized my layout to exactly what best suits my fishing style. From the time I first started using a lanyard in 2017 to the present day, my lanyard setup has changed significantly and I believe that I've fine-tuned the layout of my lanyard to my preferred specifications. In this video, I would like to share with you how I've constructed what I believe is the ultimate fly fishing lanyard! Hope you enjoy!
If you have any additional ideas on how I can improve this setup or would like to share a setup that works well for you, please tell me about it in the comments. I'd love to hear them!

Thanks for posting! Great idea with the piece of Kydex and the c&f box! Appreciate you posting!

After some really crappy lanyards I decided to make my own with quality parts. This is a great guide for what to look for and how to construct. I give this DIY guide 9/10 (I'd give it 10/10 but you need some better wine!)

Thanks for the great video! I am planning to make a couple of lanyards and was searching for ideas, yours are super cool and well thought out. This video was real helpful, thanks again and keep up the great work!

Thanks for posting! Love these videos for tips & suggestions. Please do more hatch videos like the one you did for the grannoms last year. Loved how in depth that was! Really helps a beginner like me. Maybe a sulphur or march brown one? Just a suggestion. Love the channel this country needs more upstanding young men like you guys!

Great post, I especially like the Fishing Leader Line Holder Foam attachment, been pre-rigging with some poor methods, and this will help.

Great tips. I am rigging a lanyard with a C&F patch. I am glad I found your channel. I now know exactly what I want, and how to do it. Thanks.

[@BackyardBassin]

Glad I could help! Redid my lanyard and will do another video with how I've refined it

Good tips. Thanks. Where do you get the blue foam rigging going patches?

[@BackyardBassin]

I bought mine from a local fly shop but they are also available online - amzn.to/3GMoKVT
I linked them in the blog post as well if you are interested

Thanks for the comment Dan! Makes the algorithm happy!

[@fishinjunky]

does that plastic piece need to be ridgid? semi-rigid? I was thinking of re-purposing a plastic cutting board that is pretty pliable.

[@stetst]

How did you shape/cut the plastic?

[@CarlosGarcia-507]

What did you use on either ends of the bic pen to keep the tippet spools from sliding left/right?

[@BackyardBassin]

Black tubing from the hardware store that had an inner diameter that matched the pen diameter. Just cut the tubing to about 1/2 and slide over the pen
