Hello all! I had some spare fabric stashed, so I decided to put it to use. I finished this pack up a few days ago and built the pouch today. I figured there were some new ideas in this one that may help some one. I haven't been able to weigh the Fishing pouch, but I was able to find a buddies scale (mine is M.I.A.) and weigh my pack. It was 7.2 oz fully loaded. 6.6 stripped I believe.
I decided that I needed a fishing pouch as the last trip I went on, I lost my fly box as it was squeezed out of my pocket. I need to find good, comfortable, light cord to use around my neck though. I can run the fly pouch around my waist or neck.
Originally I thought about just making a modular pack. Then I figured out I could have a multiple use gear added to the front, instead of just single use pouch.The side loops on the webbing belt are there so that I can add a hipbelt pocket there. I am waiting on a zipper, but it should be here soon.
I eliminated the typical seam on front corner, instead placing it in the center so that I could attach the shock cord to the front to compress the pack better and give more useable area to lash wet gear.
