I have multiple of these packs. I use them for my trout tackle, livebait musky and catfishing tackle.. Carrying up and down streams and rivers in Pennsylvania. I can leave it on while fishing. Without it getting in the way of casting. It's has plenty of room to carry everything for trout fishing or hooks, weights, and bobbers for live bait fishing.
It's a nice bag for fly fishing. I like the storage layout, easy to carry all of my fly boxes, reels and spools, leader material, and tools.
. Was initially going to use it fly fishing for trout, but it makes a much better creek bag when bass fishing
I'm sure it is great for what it's designed to be - fishing... But I purchased this as a day-pack sling and utilize it as a sports coach and referee. It is the perfect size, has everything needed.
