NORTHFORK WAIST PACK COBALT

Capitalize on major seasonal savings and streamline your streamside workflow with the Umpqua Northfork Waist Pack, available now at an unbeatable sale price from the Ugly Bug Fly Shop! Precision-engineered for high-mobility walk-and-wade anglers who prefer a balanced, low-profile hip platform, this technical lumbar pack organizes an immense volume of gear while keeping your shoulders and casting arm completely unobstructed. The heavy-duty internal architecture splits into two core storage zones: a spacious main compartment capable of storing up to four full-sized fly boxes, and a secondary front vault built to comfortably house two additional full-sized fly boxes. Inside, strategically mapped internal mesh sizers provide a secure, tangle-free home for loose leader spools, fluorocarbon tippet wheels, split shot, and strike indicators. Packed with uncompromised field utility, the exterior face boasts a dedicated integrated net slot for rapid landing deployment, an open-air external fly patch for quick hook staging, extra side stretch pockets, a water bottle sleeve tailored to fit a full-sized Nalgene bottle, and proprietary VersiLoop accessory attachment stations to integrate seamlessly with Umpqua's elite six-piece component tool line. Lock in your discounted rate before this popular closeout deal vanishes for the season.

Bank-wading through the deep gravel bars and heavy current of the Grey Reef or Miracle Mile stretches of the North Platte River right here in Casper places immense strain on your upper body. Traditional bulky chest packs block your downward vision and trap heat, making the Umpqua Northfork Waist Pack a massive favorite among local guides—especially now that you can score it on a rare local fly shop sale. This pack sits comfortably low on your hips, providing excellent lumbar support that keeps you completely agile when scrambling over slippery river cobble. The integrated rear net slot is a total game-changer for our wide-open, wind-swept Wyoming banks; it keeps a Fishpond Nomad Yampa Net firmly anchored out of the wind and out of your casting stroke, but allows for a lightning-fast draw when a wild 24-inch tailwater rainbow trout hits the surface.
