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.
