Fishpond Yellowstone Wader/Duffel Bag

Active Junky hauled this wader bag all over Colorado; Maroon Creek, the Frying Pan, the Roaring Fork, you name it. A spacious main compartment stores vest, belt, jacket, fly boxes and other essentials. The well-designed, mesh-lined wader compartment houses both waders and small net. “The foot pad is essential,” said one Active Junky tester, giving props to the fold-out, welcome mat-style changing pad. “And the build quality is great.” 

After months of lugging the duffle from river to stream and home again, testers offered two suggestions; 1) a separate boot compartment would be ideal and b) rod straps 1” longer would improve functionality. Minor tweaks aside, Yellowstone is a tremendous addition to the angler’s arsenal, especially considering the sustainable nature of the burly nylon fabric.
