If anyone is looking for a new vest or pack, you gotta check out Fishpond's new vestpacks. I bought the Gore Range Vestpack and it rocks. Very comfortable. I can load everything including the kitchen sink and not have it weigh me down. Lots of space and pockets for boxes, leaders, tippet, water, jacket, etc. I love the material it's made out of. Quick drying so you don't stay wet all day if you hit rain. Very durable material as well. Nothing could tear it apart. I am also purchasing their Crooked Island Guide Pack which is a lumbar pack. Nice and comfortable on your lower back. Fits tippets, boxes, leader material, extra spools, and it has a nice fold out fly patch for wet flys. Material sheds water really well. Not fully waterproof but stays pretty dry. Again really durable and for someone who fishes hard like myself, you need gear that your not afraid to USE! Check out the gear at the shop,Housatonic River Outfitters, for the products. If they don't have what your looking for, they will be happy to order it up quickly. Tight ones all and CHEERS TO FISHPOND!!!!!!!! ;D
