Kyoto Box Seat
Another handy little thing is the Kyoto box seat. It is a simple two-level tackle box that is ideal for both the boat and shore angler.
The top half of the box opens independently from the bottom half and features separate compartments for organizing tackle. The top half is perfect for storing often-used items such as leaders, priests, disgorgers, and other useful items you would take on your fishing trips.
The lower compartment is a large storage area that is good for additional tackle. I have got a reel case with a reel and 4 spare spools along with A5-sized fly boxes. There’s even room on top of the tackle for my flask and sandwiches.
It’s an ideal and compact box for the fly angler who wants to travel light.
I added a foam cushion wrapped in leatherette waterproof material to make it a comfy seat as well.
Available from the Glasgow Angling Centre for only £27.99

I found the backpack ideal for those long walks up the mountains to some of my favorite out-of-the-way lochs.
It saved me from carrying too much, all I need to do was put all the fly boxes; leaders, and 2 fly reels in the pockets; plus all the smaller items required for a good day's fishing; then attaché the landing net to the rear D ring. Added my packed lunch to the expandable backpack and off I went
