Most flyfishing industry solutions are bloated. They perpetuate the need for excess.

**Quick shots** :

For short local trips. The quick shots where I drive up and the fishing duration might be under 3 hours. I will use the zimmerbuilt sling lite.

Unpacked it is lite as a feather, and will use the storage for carrying or sheding layers and maybe an energy bar. I will hydrate at the trailhead and leave water at the car.

Flybox, two rods, nippers, forcepts, fly line and tippet.

Optional:

Energy bar, bug repellent, ultra compact rain jacket.

**Long shots** :

Long hikes and full day trips.

I dont fuss with flyfishing packs. They are not great at hauling gear. I like osprey day packs which have great load distribution and pull the load away from your back and have a mesh vent to keep us cool.

Buy a volume to carry whatever junk you need to haul. I have one to haul my mess kit and backpacking stove and food to cook.

When I fish a stretch, i hang the pack in a tree and use the zimmerbuit strap pack modified for belt mount.

Flybox, nippers, forcepts, fly line and tippet.

On the water what else do we need?

> So I have several of Zimmerbuilt products. Like them all. I bought the stap pack and the mirco pack, which are just pockets. They come with a lanyard, but I hate stuff swinging around when I fish. So, I pretty much have been using these pockets as organizers inside my sling lite. The couple times I fished with the tailwater pack I endured the lanyard around my neck and hung my pack in a tree while I fished. This mod is underwhelming but I like it. I prefer to have stuff belt mounted in gene…
