I have an Orvis Super Tac-L-Pac that caused me many back aches so it was recently replaced.
I have a Buck's Bag's Chest Pack that I use to use while chasing salmon and steelhead.
I have a Fishpond mini chest pack that I use to use for chasing brookies.
I have a Down's Chest Box that I still use sometimes, but not for a while now.
I have a Simms G3 wading jacket that I fish out of in the late fall, winter and early spring and absolutely love. It holds just what I need those times of year in pretty good order and ease. (I had the Simms Classic Guide Jacket, but the dry cuff in that model sucks. Lets in way too much water.)
I recently got a Chapman "Artist Bag" that I absolutely love. It holds everything (and a lot more) that my Tac-L-Pac held, but without the back ache. It is replacing all of the above, so I no longer have to switch stuff out from other carriers. I haven't used it for salmon or steelhead, but will this fall. I will wear it over my wading jacket and just use the jacket as a jacket, not a vest.
Fishing with bait is like swearing in church.
