I went with the Canon Rebel T5i. My bigger fear was the breaking of things rather than the flooding aspect. I've seen lots of "underwater" bags for these cameras, but having done dive photography before, I wouldn't trust a bag to do much more than keep it mostly protected during a brief plunge. I guess I am looking for some type of backpack - like the Korongo - that is relatively padded that I could throw on my back (in conjunction with a "dry" bag) to keep it relatively secure during casting. I have no problem stopping to take some cool scenery pictures (and do that today), but other than that, it would really just be for the hero shots. I've used my phone to this point and it works fine, just doesn't give the quality I'd like to get into.

You are going to find a DSLR really awkward if you plan on shooting while wading. You'll probably be using a telescopic lens for the most versatility. The camera will bang around a lot with every motion you make if you are carrying it ready to shoot photos. And if you slip or fall getting the camera wet will be the least of your worries. Breaking the lens, cracking the body or snapping the lens from the body are all very likely possibilities.
Bringing a DSLR to photograph your trip is great while not actually engaged in fishing. When fishing you're better off with one of really great digital compacts available today from Fuji, Olympus etc. they are small, easy to use and have incredible imaging sensors. Some have interchangeable lens systems.
