vicente 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 I have a similar Patagonia sling pack I like it, holds everything I need easily, it's comfortable easy to access when I want to change flys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surlyinbred 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 Will echo the Vedavoo, fourth season on my Beast sling. It's absolutely perfect for my minimal approach but is no slouch for space. I also dig the Vedavoo made local, made in the USA, support the little guy scene. They're doing good things for the community. For longer outings that require more storage or rain protection I supplement with a waterproof lumbar pack (typically my Wingnut Gear pack for mtb riding.) If I lived in a wetter climate I might lean towards one of the waterproof slings. $.02 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjm 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 These sling packs make me think of trout creels of yesteryear, and fwiw there may have been more tackle carried in trout creels than trout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 Definately bigger lunches were carried in the creels. You guys must be packing those little packs of goo that the marathon runners and bicyclist pack. Not that I take a big lunch but there's not room for a granola bar in some of those packs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualAngler 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 I've had one of these for ages, & it suits me very well along with my 30 year old Pflueger vest and a CamelBak. I don't keep fish in it anymore; now it holds my lunch. A [sandwich] or two, fruit & drink. If it gets wet, OK. [edited.] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it gets wet, OK. 131193584_th.jpg One of the original 'sling packs' although a wicker box would hold more tackle and still have room for the lunch. I had a canvass creel given to me back when we were still young, my wife called it my 'purse'; I gave it away to some kid that didn't have wife. 47 years later I can't hear her, so maybe I'll try a "pack" some day, or maybe not.

You can actually fit a lot in that Patagonia stealth sling pack, i carry a 40 oz insulated water bottom in the holder have carried several fly boxes and a sandwich with room to spare.

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 Yes the Patagonia looks sufficient. Some of the other ones not so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 Some of them carry a lot more than you would expect at first glance. I didn't think the one I got would carry a while lot, but after getting it I found it had not just the larger front pockets, but also had zipper pockets inside on the back side of the front pockets, as well as angled zipper pockets on the sides of the large front ones.

CasualAngler 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 I like my PB&J sammies nice and fluffy not all smushed. A couple of hard [sandwich] keepers cures that. However, slightly smushed [sandwiches] harken back to the good ol' days of childhood fishing excursions. [edited, so as not to offend.] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
