Sling for Southpaw?

I'd love to try a sling pack, but they're all designed asymmetrically, to be worn over the right shoulder.
 
As a left-handed angler, I'd much prefer to have it on my left shoulder.
 
Anyone know of a lefty-specific (unlikely), or ambidextrous design that can be worn over either shoulder (far more likely)?

    It's actually made to be worn over either. If you go to that link and look at the 3D view you can see where the strap can be moved to either side on the bottom. I'm a lefty too.

    You can move it, and it might work, but the seams and pockets are clearly designed to ideally suit a right handed user, thus i'd suspect that the pockets would be awkward at best (and inaccessible at worst) for a southpaw.

    That's not a sling pack. That is a European carry-all. A.K.A., man-purse.

    I use one of these...

    I really like it.  I cast right handed and the pack sits on my left shoulder.  It is very comfortable.  My buddy purchased one at the same time, used it once and did not like it.  I could see what he wants for it.  I am in the Butler area.

    How's that solve anything?  You still have stuff to carry.  Probably even more stuff than a civilized angler.
