Thank you all for the very insightful posts this is just what I wanted to hear! I'm amazed at hearing how much you guys are stuffing into these packs! I usually leave with 3 - 4 spools of tippet. 1 maybe 2 fly boxes at MOST, pliers, strike indicators, nippers. The fact I can do that and bring along a place to stow a hat or an extra t shirt is really cool!

I'm really debating now between the William Joseph and the Fishpond Waterdance. I currently own several fishpond stuff and love their gear, but that William Joseph with the magnets and pockets look really nice too!!!

what do you guys use to waterproof it with?
