On-stream packs
 

Typically, I bring a day-pack loaded with lunch, coffee supplies, water,
booze, etc and leave it stream side while I fish an area. When done with the
area, I go get the pack and move along to the next spot.

Anyone know of a good pack that will carry same but would be suitable to
wear on stream, to eliminate the return for the pack? I'd think it would
have to be water-proof (or close, anyway) and sit higher on the back to
avoid dragging in the water.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
I've been using an Orvis Angler's Backpack for a few years now.
It houses tubes for two 4pc pack rods, but I use one of the holders for my
topo maps. It also has a quick access H20 holder. Mine has 2-pockets
up front for quick access digital camera, and trail mix. The pack is light
enough
to wear while fishing, and you can cover quite a bit of area.

I believe they're on sale at Orvis.
I have the older version to this one:

I also have a magazine that has the best fly-fishing packs, I could mail
this
to you if you would like. I'm done with the magazine. Or scan the article
for you.

That's a ton of stuff! My William-Joseph chest pack has a very ample
backpack-style pocket that would probably hold it. It's not waterproof,
but wears high, and contents should survive a MODEST dunking with minimal
damage.

I typically bring what I want for an after-breakfast-to-just-before-dinner
day on the water. Hike a few miles from camp and work my way back. Really
isn't a ton of stuff, maybe what would fill a medium sized fanny pack. I
just don't want to carry it in vest pockets and don't want to go back for a
pack.

I typically use my school book backpack. I can carry a ****load of stuff
for me and my fishin buddy. It's cheap and doesn't get in the way. Bought
it at Wally World, I think?

Just ask Jeff Miller whose the best stream pack-mule he knows.

When I need to carry a daypack, I throw all of the essential FF stuff
into a chest pack. The chest pack I use has clips that snap right onto
D-rings that are sewn onto the shoulder straps of my daypack. The whole rig
is hotter and sweatier than most, but I carry a camelback bladder in the
daypack to compensate.

17 pounds??!! hell, mark carries that weight in candy bars alone. i'm
chagrined by his illness, but even disabled i suspect he can carry more
than a healthy llama.
