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

/daytripper (who wonders what you pack for a weekend ;-)

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.

uh...no contest...as i suggested to daniel-san prior to reading your note.

Daniel-San I'd think it would have to be water-proof (or close,
Daniel-San anyway)

Lots of interesting suggestions here, but finding a waterproof
solution - which in my mind is a very important feature - might be
difficult. Let us know what your search turns up.

I carry a lot of stuff on stream, and use this

Because of the Aircomfort system, it is extemely comfortable to carry
(no sweating, a big difference when compared with a usual
backpack). The straps and side pockets are very good for holding one
rod tube on each side.
