The fly rod will rest in a
perfect horizontal position when it is positioned behind the neck strap connected
to the pack and pushed down behind the pack touching your chest.
I changed from the fly
fishing vest to the chest pack a few years ago. I found that I really didn’t
need to carry the store in the vest with me to fish for three or four hours. I
wanted something lighter and compact so the chest pack became my go-to storage
bag.
One can fork out quite a
bit of money for chest packs and vests. The pack I am using is the White River brand on sale now for 18.00 bucks for the large size
and 15.00 bucks for the small size.
Big rains here today will continue to keep me
off the tailrace for weeks.
