One thing I’ve come to realize I need for all-day fly fishing is a pack that can hold 2 or 3 fly boxes, tools, leaders, tippet, etc. And for a true all-day excursion, room for snacks and water.
So I’m looking at the Orvis Safe Passage Chest Pack, which has the backpack for snacks and such and room for a couple of fly boxes in front. The other options are the Orvis Complete Safe Passage Chest Pack or one of the Fishpond packs.
What makes the decision more difficult is that I’ve seen some comments that a chest pack will restrict vision and make it a little harder to navigate through a rocky stream. This makes sense, because if there’s a bulging pack then it’s harder to see where the feet are going. I guess I might just have to buy one – any one – and try it out. What works for one person might not work for another.
I’ll post an update when I finally make up my mind….
