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,

Yikes! Are you fishing, or going on a picnic?

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.

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.
