River Essentials Kit

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I keep the River Essentials Kit in my vest pocket for those mornings when I forget half my gear at the truck. The nippers and forceps alone have saved me from turning back more times than I can count."

There's a moment on every river morning when the fish start rising, and you realize you left something in the truck, and that's exactly the moment the Orvis River Essentials Kit is built to erase. We love tucking this little zip-top bag into a vest pocket before first light, knowing the leaders, tippet, nippers, and forceps we need are already sorted and ready to go. It's less gear to think about and more time with a line in the water, which is really the whole point of being out there.
