As a fisherman that has grown up on the banks of the waters of the Vail Valley, with some good old- fashioned, car camping trips to the Arkansas river as well as the Roaring Fork, a good, quick meal on the banks is as important as your fly and tippet selection.  It does not matter if I’m guiding or just ” off the radar,” I always pack enough food AND WATER for two people or an unexpected long night. My Fishpond Wasatch Tech Pack holds enough water and meals easily! One’s water is easy to take care of; besides the Camelback, the Fishpond Wasatch Tech Pack can hold up to six bottles of water ( I like to put them in coozies to hold the cold) then there is FOOD. The trout are eating and so should you. My personal favorite,  and any guide/client within arms reach, is a mix of jerky, almonds and Craisins. Also the Cliff Shot-Bloxs are great!

Feed the body to empower your soul so as to fish better, there is nothing quite as bad as bonking in the middle of the river during a hatch!
