Sling Packs & Satchels FAQ

Q: What are fly fishing sling packs used for?
A: Fly fishing sling packs are designed to keep your gear organized and accessible while maintaining full freedom of movement. Worn over one shoulder and across the chest, they swing easily to the front for quick access to flies, tools, or leaders, then back out of the way when casting or wading.

Q: What are the advantages of sling packs compared to vests or hip packs?
A: Sling packs combine the lightweight feel of a vest with the storage of a small backpack. They keep your chest and back ventilated, distribute weight evenly, and provide quick access to your essentials — perfect for anglers who value efficiency and comfort on the water. Because they sit high on the back, they are ideal for anglers who often wade deeper.

Q: Are fly fishing sling packs waterproof?
A: Many sling packs are water-resistant, while some premium models offer full waterproof protection using welded seams and submersible zippers. Waterproof sling packs are ideal for deep wading, rain, or saltwater fishing, while lighter options are great for all-day comfort.

Q: Which brands of fly fishing sling packs do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries top-quality sling packs from Fishpond, Simms, and Patagonia. These brands are trusted for their durability, ergonomic design, and angler-focused storage systems.

Q: How much gear can a sling pack hold?
A: Sling packs come in a range of sizes — compact models for minimalist anglers, and larger ones that can carry multiple fly boxes, water bottles, tools, and rain gear. Many feature attachment points for nets, retractor tools, and tippet holders.

Q: How should I care for my fly fishing sling pack?
A: Rinse your pack with fresh water after fishing, if used in saltwater or muddy conditions. Let it dry completely before storage, and check zippers and straps regularly to ensure lasting performance
