Packs Quick Picks Best All-Around: Orvis Sling Pack - Great for walk-and-wade days when you want quick access without taking your pack off. The swing-to-front layout and built-in tippet dock make frequent fly changes feel smoother and more organized. Best Waterproof Sling: Simms Dry Creek Z Sling Pack - Built for anglers who fish in steady rain, big spray, or deep wading where “water-resistant” isn’t enough. A submersible build and sealed zipper design help protect phones, keys, and extra layers in truly wet conditions. Best Premium Waterproof: Patagonia Guidewater Sling Pack - A premium choice for anglers who want a fully submersible sling with a clean, fishing-specific layout. The ambidextrous carry and integrated net storage make it a strong option for both trout rivers and saltwater flats. Best Minimalist: Orvis Chest/Hip Pack - Ideal when you’re carrying one fly box, a few leaders, and core tools for a short session. It can be worn multiple ways, so it adapts well to wet wading, travel, and tight brush. Best Packable Travel: Simms Flyweight Access Pack - A smart add-on for destination trips, guide days, or boat storage when you want a “just in case” backpack that packs down small. The roll-top closure and lightweight build keep it simple for layers, lunch, and extra boxes.
