Fishing Backpacks FAQ

Q: What are fly fishing backpacks used for?
A: Fly fishing backpacks are designed to carry your essential gear for longer days on the water or multi-day adventures. They offer ample space for fly boxes, extra layers, food, hydration, and accessories while keeping your gear organized and easily accessible.

Q: What makes a fly fishing backpack different from a regular backpack?
A: Fly fishing backpacks are purpose-built with water-resistant materials, tool attachment points, and internal organization tailored to anglers. Many feature net holsters, retractor mounts, and waterproof compartments to protect valuable gear in wet environments.

Q: Are fly fishing backpacks waterproof?
A: Many are water-resistant, while select models are fully waterproof with welded seams and submersible zippers. Waterproof backpacks are ideal for boat fishing, heavy rain, or deep wading — while water-resistant packs balance protection with comfort and breathability. Waterproof packs are preferred for all saltwater fishing.

Q: Which fly fishing backpack brands do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries top brands like Fishpond, Simms, Yeti and Patagonia. These packs are known for durability, comfort, and angler-focused designs that perform in both fresh and saltwater environments.

Q: How do I choose the right fly fishing backpack?
A: Consider how much gear you carry and how long you plan to fish. Smaller daypacks are great for short outings, while larger waterproof or modular systems are perfect for backcountry trips or anglers who want to carry everything in one pack.

Q: How should I care for my fly fishing backpack?
A: Rinse your backpack with fresh water after use, especially if exposed to salt or mud. Allow it to dry completely before storage and occasionally lubricate zippers or buckles on waterproof models to maintain performance.
