Orvis Sling Pack
Best ergonomic gear carrier for mobile fly fishing enthusiasts.
This is the ultimate minimalist rig for anglers who prioritize flow over bulk. By shifting your gear to a single shoulder, it keeps your casting arm completely unencumbered, though you’ll have to sacrifice the balanced weight distribution of a traditional two-strap backpack for that freedom of movement.
