Things To Consider When Buying A Fishing Bivvy

By: Nick Gent

When purchasing a fishing bivvy they are many factors to consider to suit the individual angler's needs. We give you some top tips to look out for.

Fishing bivvies have considerably improved over the last decade with new improvements in frame design and fabric quality so the angler does not need to spend the night under an old 45" umbrella with their feet sticking out the bottom covered in a bin liner as in days gone by.

For those who still like an umbrella type shelter which are very useful for fitting into small swims they have now become a wider, oval shape and can incorporate storm sides. The centre pole which took up lots of room can now be removed completely leaving plenty of room for a bed chair and other tackle. Most manufacturers now also offer an overwrap option to their umbrellas so you can quickly turn it into a bivvy with a roll up door if required.

If you are fishing longers session in the UK or abroad and fancy a bit more room or wish to take a friend for the weekend there are now many two man capacity bivvies on the market produced by many manufacturers such as JRC, Trakker, Fox, Nash, Aqua and Chub. These bivvies have the capacity of holding two bed chairs plus all the necessary kit such as cooking equipment, cool boxes etc for a longer session.

Many camping tents not specifically designed for fishing have multiple fibreglass pole systems that need feeding through a top sheet which can be time consuming on your own and especially so in bad weather, most anglers found this system frustrating if they we only fishing a short overnight session so bivvy manufacturers designed a system with a rigid aluminium frame similar to an old style pram hood design. Most anglers now tend to go for one of these style of bivvies as they are light extremely surdy and quick to erect and pack away even in strong winds.

The quality of the fabrics now used in modern day bivvies have much improved over the years and most are lighter, stronger and more waterproof than their predecessors and they are much less likely to tear during use or packing away, but a good tip is to spray your bivvy with Fabsil once a year to keep it in tip top condition. Some manufacturers are now also producing bivvies in camouflage coloured materials for the ultra cult anglers.

Another good feature with many new bivvies is a zip off front so an angler can choose to leave the bivvy front open in nice weather or if they want a good view of the water, some manufacturers also produce an anti mosquito mesh front or cover which stops the bugs from biting during the warm summer months.

So when considering purchasing a bivvy consider the above features, choose one of the reputable manufacturers and be prepared to invest a bit of money for a quality product and your bivvy will last you many years and keep you warm and dry on the bank.
