I use different ways of storage, depending on what type of fishing I am doing. When trout fishing, I carry a lot of flies, so I use a vest and carry about 8 boxes of flies along with a lot of other paraphernalia, lunch a rain jacket, and a water bottle. I can't imaging keeping it organized so I can find what I need in under an hour with any other means. For carp fishing, I use a hip pack, since I only carry one fly box. I have also carried a hip pack when fishing saltwater, but recently bought a shoulder sling pack and will try it out this summer. It should hold more water and lunch better than the waist pack that I have been using.
