Fly fishing slings, backpacks and shoulder bags · IPX7–IPX8 options

Sling, Backpack or Shoulder Bag for Fly Fishing?

A sling swings to the front for fly changes without being taken off, which is why most wading anglers choose one. Our 15L IPX8 fly fishing sling has a waist strap that locks it in place while wading. For full-day trips with extra layers and lunch, a backpack spreads the load: our 20L fly fishing backpack and 15L fly fishing backpack both use TPU construction. Shoulder bags such as our 10L lightweight fly fish shoulder bag suit short sessions and drift boats.

What Should a Fly Fishing Bag Include?

Fly anglers judge a bag by small details: a patch panel for fly drying, docks for nippers and forceps, a net slot, a bottle holder, and a zipper that opens easily with wet hands. On our welded bags, these attachments sit on welded patches rather than stitching through the shell, and airtight zippers carry large moulded pulls. For the full fishing range, see our Waterproof Fishing Bag collection, and for hip and chest packs, our Fishing Sling and Hip Pack collection.

Fly Fishing Bag FAQ

Is a fly fishing sling better than a chest pack?

A sling carries more and swings to the front when needed. A chest pack keeps a small kit permanently in reach. Many wading anglers prefer a sling with a waist strap for stability.

Can I submerge a fly fishing bag?

Only an airtight-zipper model rated IPX8, such as our 15L sling. TPU shoulder bags with standard zippers are built for rain and splashes.

Can you make a left-shoulder version?

Yes. Strap anchors are welded, so left- and right-shoulder versions of the same design can be produced.
