ORVIS MINI SLING

Streamline your gear footprint and maximize your casting mobility with the Orvis Mini Sling Pack, available now at the Ugly Bug Fly Shop! There are times on the water when you don't need a massive array of luggage—just a single go-to fly box, a couple of spools of tippet, and your essential tools. For those targeted quick-trips, this compact 5-liter sling pack delivers simple, intuitive accessibility while remaining completely out of your way while fishing. It is masterfully constructed from an eco-conscious, heavy-duty 100% recycled CORDURA® ECO 600-denier polyester outer shell, strategically armored with a water-and-grit repellent TPU coating. The asymmetric left-shoulder strap configuration completely frees up your casting arm and shoulder, preventing awkward line snags. Packed with technical utility, it features a main body pocket with internal drop sorters, a loop tippet bar attachment, a front strap tool dashboard with a zinger docking station, a built-in fly patch, and a rear D-ring for secure net attachment.

When you are heading out for a quick evening rise during a mid-summer caddis or trico hatch along the Grey Reef stretch of the North Platte River right here in Casper, hauling a massive, heavy backpack is entirely unnecessary. Local guides rely on the Orvis Mini Sling Pack 5L for these quick stealth sessions because it keeps you exceptionally light and agile on your feet. When you need to swap out a dry fly, you don't even have to take the pack off—simply slide it around to your chest to access your tools instantly. The front strap docking station keeps your forceps right at eye level, while the low-profile 5L build won't catch our relentless Wyoming winds, allowing you to punch clean, high-amplitude loops directly into a breeze without throwing tailing loops.
