    The greatest fly fishing backpack to me is the one I couldn’t bring myself to put on the Midcurrent blog, because it’s too expensive.

    What makes it look perfect?

    Waterproofedness, big capacity, proper waist straps (very important if you haul dense weight like camera gear), and extremely rugged build.

    Yup. I hear they have some kind of magic seams that seal perfectly. Basically, there is room for some manufacturer to create the “perfect” fly fishing backpack. Maybe they could name them “youngster”, “middleager” and “oldster” to define weight and weight carrying capacities.

    Probably RF (radio frequency) welded, although I’m not sure that’s what they’re using.

    My roommate has this pack and likes it – however, I don’t think the zippers are waterproof and he said it gets hot when you’re carrying it (doesn’t breathe like other packs).

    You run a blog for them and you don’t even rate a listing on the links page!

    Believe me, links are the least of my concerns.

    I’m afraid that sounds like something you’ve picked up.

    It must be something to do with my IE browser.

    Hey Bob –

    That’s a CSS problem.
