The more
I fish, the more anglers I see using chest and
fanny packs in lieu of traditional vests. And if my
guess is right, one that I’ll be seeing a lot
more of next season is the new Pine Hollow Pack
from Clear Creek.
Constructed of 420-Denier nylon, the Pine Hollow
Pack measures 10” W x 5” D x 7”
H, and being completely padded with closed-cell
foam, it will float if you drop it. The zip-open
main compartment is big enough to hold several
full-sized fly boxes, or a bunch of smaller ones,
and has a see-through zippered compartment in the
lid sized for tippet spools. A zip-down front fly
deck features interchangeable ripple-foam fly
holders, and includes two elastic-top pockets sized
for leaders, floatants, etc., plus tethered swivel
snap shackle to secure your car keys. A fold down
cover with its own internal zippered pocket is held
open by two captive magnets, and locked closed via
a web strap with quick-detach buckle. Elastic-top,
mesh water bottle holders are mounted on both
sides, and zippers are premium YKK models with big
web zipper pulls that can be worked with gloved
hands.
The modular
suspension system – consisting of a padded
mesh waist belt with side adjusters, adjustable web
straps and quick-detach buckle, plus a padded,
aeromesh – backed neck/shoulder strap with
quick-detach swivel snap shackles – allows it
to be worn as a hip, fanny or chest pack.

HCA Field Test: Clear Creek has always been a trusted
name when it comes to fishing pack, bags and vests,
so when I heard that they had a new pack out for
2007 I was excited to give it a test run. The new
Pine Hollow Pack didn't disappoint. I can see why
it won the 2007 Editor's Choice award from Fly Fish
America. Not only is it a perfect size for a waist
or shoulder pack, but it has all the right
compartments and components you need in a good
pack. It holds 2 water bottles, and the
compartments are easily accessible--which is a key
feature most fly fishermen look for in a pack. The
larger compartment is waterproof, and large enough
for several fly boxes--even a power bar or two. And
the smaller front compartment comes with a foam fly
holder and work station. It can be worn over the
shoulder, but I prefer it as a waist pack, and the
fit is very comfortable. It's lighter than
most--which is a critical feature for those of us
with chronic back pains. A great pack, and priced
to sell!
