Fishpond 3X5 Tacky Mat – Silicone Anchored Fly Pad (Holds 90 Flies)

Streamline your fly organization with a rugged, silicone-backed mat

When you’re chasing big dries or pursuing fast-water history, keeping flies within reach matters. The Fishpond 3X5 Tacky Mat combines a compact footprint with a robust silicone anchoring system, letting you secure up to 90 flies at a glance. This isn’t just a patch; it’s an organizational upgrade you can trust on day trips and long expeditions alike.

What makes it different

Unlike traditional foam patches, this mat uses an original patented silicone anchoring technology. The silicone is resilient, easy to clean, and designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, ensuring your flies stay in place as temperatures shift from chilly mornings to warm afternoons.

Compatibility and seamless integration

Designed as a replacement fly pad, it fits a wide range of Fishpond and partner packs. Regardless of your setup, you can swap in this mat for a consistent storage solution.

• Replacement Fly Pad for: Summit Sling 2.0, Waterdance Pro Guide Pack, Canyon Creek Chest Pack, Sagebrush Pro Mesh Vest
• Integrates Seamlessly With: Cutbank Gear Bag, Blue River Chest/Lumbar Pack, Flathead Sling, San Juan Chest Pack, Switchback Pro Wading System, Thunderhead Rod & Reel Cases, Other "Hook and Loop" Pads

Additionally, the mat plays well with existing modular gear. When you clip it to your kit, the result is a tidy, accessible fly field ready at a moment’s notice.

Venturing out with confidence

• Holds up to 90 flies, giving you a broad range of sizes and patterns at your fingertips
• Original silicone anchoring minimizes shedding and keeps flies oriented for quick selection
• Withstands extreme temperature ranges, from frosty mornings to sun-warmed days

In practice, anglers appreciate the mat’s low-profile presence on a pack or bag, while the silicone paddings keep your flies neat and accessible. The surface is easy to wipe clean after a long day, and the slim design tucks neatly into pouches or gear compartments.

Real-world scenarios

Picture a dawn session where you want a rapid forecast of fly choices. You reach for the mat, glance at the neatly arranged flies, and select your pattern in seconds. Between flats, a quick swap to another pack is painless thanks to compatibility across Fishpond and partner systems.

Whether you’re hiking to a backcountry river, dedicating a day to a remote stream, or simply upgrading your everyday carry, the Fishpond 3X5 Tacky Mat offers a practical, non-committal improvement to organization and access. It isn’t a guarantee of better results, but it is a reliable tool for efficient, tactile fly handling.
