Fishing Backpack

A Fishing Backpack? Just to be clear right up front and center about what this is and what this isn't: This is not a backpack for ultralight backpackers who might (or might not) fish a little bit along the way. This is a backpack for fisherman and the emphasis is on the fishing. It is made by BW Sports, the same company makes the Tippet/Fly Pouch and the "Fishing Fanny Pack." BW Sports Backpack

To start with, the BW Sports backpack has a rod strap on each side, so you can carry up to four Tenkara USA rods in their tubes for additional security (two on each side). If you take the rods out of the tubes, it will accomodate up to six rods on each side. It will also accomodate the Backpacking Light Hane or Sakura Kongo tenkara rods inside the pack. For that matter, the TrailLite Designs Ti Net fits inside a fully loaded pack pretty easily, too, although the last few inches of the net handle will poke out from one of the upper corners. The end of the handle rides just behind your shoulder, though, so it doesn't catch on anything.

The mesh side pockets are much deeper than normal so your water bottle won't fall out and float away when you bend over to unhook a fish - and don't think that doesn't happen with other backpacks.

It has a large external pocket with a compression cord so you can carry a light rain jacket and have it immediately accessable. It comes with an adjustable waist strap and a fully padded back panel, although the waist strap hits me too high above the waist to be of any help and I ended up cutting it off. The pack is made from 600 Denier Rip-Stop polyester, so it will hold up to the abuse you'll surely put it through.

Fishing Backpack Side View The pocket at the bottom of the right side is divided, and putting both tubes on one side would allow you to cinch the buckled strap down more tightly against the tubes. The divided pocket is too small for a standard water bottle, so it is probably best to carry your water on the left side and your rods on the right.

The tubes are pretty slick, though, so for maximum security, wrap a big rubber band around each rod tube and slide it down so it is just below the buckle. The rubber bands will keep the tubes from sliding out even if the pack is held upside down.

Wtih dimensions of 12" x 11" x 18" (fully loaded), it will hold the gear you need for when you need more than just a dozen flies and a spool of tippet.
