The Patagonia Fly Fishing Vest Front Sling takes the best of a fishing vest and blends it with prime features of sling packs so you don't have to choose between a vest or sling. A row of vertical pockets gives you the best of the vest, while a large storage pocket sings the praises of the sling.
Light and breathable, the body of this sling-vest is made from 210D polyester 3-D spacer mesh. Small pockets hold small gear, and the back zipper closer guards the entrance to the large pocket, where you can stash lunch, a fly box, and a compressible, ultralight raincoat. An internal security pouch offers waterproof storage for your car keys and phone, while other internal organizers keep tippet spools safe. A bottom water bottle holder prevents you from going dry in the middle of a body of water. With a simple swing, you can change what faces forward, be it the vest side or the sling side. Either way, the Vest Front Sling provides great gear storage on your body for a full day of fly-fishing fun.

Best Trout Fishing Sling Pack

This is a great pack. And probably the best trout sling pack out there. The design and utility is not found in any other sling pack I know of. The advantage it has over all others is that you don't have to swing the pack around your body for every task. You can change a fly, add tippet, replace a leader, apply floatant, unhook a fish, add an indicator, or add splitshot; all without swinging the pack around your body once. This is a big advantage for the trout fisherman. If you are bass fishing or saltwater fishing then it's not as necessary but these are all common occurrences when trout fishing. It's lightweight, durable, has a waterproof pocket, and even has rod holder straps on the side for long hikes to a river. The only criticism I have is that the foam patch became unglued from the velcro strip after a couple years, but that was easy to replace with an aftermarket patch. So far mine has held up really well. But I am sad that it doesn't look like there is a replacement model when mine does finally wear out.
