I use either an Orvis guide vest (sits higher on your chest) or a simple
chest/hip pack depending on
where I go. The vest can get really hot in summer and if Im staying on the
ranch I usually go back
to the cabin for lunch and change from my box of spinners to the afternoon
box of adults/grashoppers.

Ive also noticed that if I bring the vest I have a tendency to overpack and
end up spending a lot of time
trying to decide which of 1000s of flies to use.
