Magnificent bags. Handles everything but the rods. So glad to find them.

Its exactly what i wanted. the bottom area holds my waders and wadding boots while keeping my stuff dry in the main compartment. I threw my fishpond ridgeline with canyon creek chest pack attached to it (love that setup) and it fits perfect in the top with my reel and some other fishing gear. highly recommended

This bag is prefect for the early morning trip to the river. I can pack it up a few days before and leave it by the door knowing all of my gear is ready to go. I have used it as a carry on for steelhead trips and cant say enough good things about how much you can carry and how well it handles the abuse of travel. The mesh on the sides of the wet area allows for the gear to dry while not getting moldy and the top can handle enough gear for a three day trip. It is a great bag.
