I want to thank the collective Ya'll for getting me thinking. I believe you
are right. I'm probably better off doing what I've been doing which is using
my small Sandpiper Chest pack and carrying my rain gear, drink, bug dope and
snack in a split willow creel..
I subscribe to the idea that he best fishing is probably between the
bridges so I often spend as much time walking to the sweet spots and back as
I do fishing. I'm getting by just fine with he gear I have and if I had a
vest I'd load myself down like a mule. I can see that now..

Thanks you all for sharing your good thoughts...
