I took the sling pack out for the 1st time last weekend it worked very well. I was concerned that my net ( on a retractor) or my wading staff would somehow get tangled up with the pack - but neither was a problem. Also, I drink a lot of water, so I had the 32oz nalgene in the attached bottle holder and put a 17oz in the larger compartment of the pack. There was still room for all my fly boxes and accessories, plus food. I'm really liking it so far!
