Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sling packs

I have the older orvis sling pack (same as scott) and have similar complaints due to size. But I am also aware that no matter what size pack i use, I will fill it completely. I do wish it had a integrated net holder like some of the new packs and a water bottle holder. 

But overall i like it, I do use a backpack when i am on the beach, since I carrier a bigger fly box that wont fit in the sling pack, and I have to take that off to change flies etc which is annoying.

I have this Orvis sling pack. I had a gift card, so I really didn't shop around for other brands. But on the whole I like it a lot. I was using an old backpack before, which worked but had a lot of issues. 

It slings over your right shoulder. I cast left-handed, and it works pretty well. I've never had an issue with the placement of the pack. I'm a little lazy and don't often use the second strap across my chest, but when using it the whole thing is really stable, which is nice when scaling hills around streams and other obstacles. The only real downsides I have are that the water bottle holder is pretty small and the pack itself doesn't hold a ton. I've done it, but it can be tough to shove layers in there when the day warms up. It's better for a quick outing vs. something more elaborate. I don't really go on multi-day trips but if I did I'd want more storage.

Mark,

For my response, my right shoulder is my normal casting shoulder.

Clarification: my question about which shoulder ought to have been, "Over your casting shoulder or not?"

Over left shoulder or right shoulder? Why?
