for long days where i might encounter alot of differnet situations (most days for me) i rock out with the willy J exodus pack… I love it, truely the best pack i’ve had… and the pack on the back is big enough to pack waders and a pair of shoes in if you are doing a big hike in, i went into the cheeseman with it, and that combined with the korkers chang-a-soles was awesome…
i have a patagonia vest , or a smaller willy j pack that i’ll bring when im fishing a pond or something more certain, like salt or for salmon
