Northfork Sling Pack

A sling bag is designed to be worn over one shoulder with a single strap that crosses your body. This design allows for easy access to your gear while keeping your hands free, which is essential during activities like fly fishing where you may need to use both hands for casting and reeling in fish.

Fly fishing uses a lightweight lure called a "fly" that mimics the movement of insects on the water's surface. Unlike traditional fishing, which often uses bait and heavier tackle, fly fishing requires specialized rods and lines, making it a unique and skillful method of catching fish.

The VersiLoop system consists of multiple attachment points on the sling bag that allow you to customize your setup. You can easily attach accessories like fishing nets, extra gear, or water bottles, making your bag more versatile and tailored to your specific fishing needs.

A padded shoulder strap provides extra comfort and support when carrying the bag, especially during long periods of wear. This feature is crucial for activities like fishing, where you may be walking or standing for extended times, as it helps prevent discomfort or strain on your shoulder.

A dedicated water bottle pocket keeps your hydration easily accessible and secure while you’re on the move. Staying hydrated is vital during outdoor activities like fishing, and having a specific compartment for your water bottle ensures you can quickly grab a drink without rummaging through your bag.

Absolutely! While the sling bag is designed with fly fishing in mind, its versatile design and features, such as the VersiLoop system and padded shoulder strap, make it suitable for various outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or casual day trips. You can customize it to fit your needs, no matter the adventure!
