  • From Tenkara Tracks review: "Simply pull your rod off the bottom of the pack, deploy it, and start fishing!"
  • Full Velcro panel on the adjustable shelf makes it easy to locate the right fly.
  • From Tenkara Tracks review: "A fold-out hook-and-loop panel on the front of the pack makes organizing flies and fly boxes easy. It's completely adjustable with the paracord/cord lock system. The front compartment also features mesh tippet pockets and handy, zippered storage. The inside front panel is shown here with a Simms Patch fly box, which can be mounted inside or on the hook-and-loop fly patch on the outside of the pack."
  • A Velcro closure holds the waist belt.
  • Shown with the waist belt deployed. It will accommodate up to a 48" waist. Once adjusted to fit, we recommend that you trim off the excess strap and burn the edges to keep the webbing from fraying.
  • The pack can also be worn cross body.
  • From Tenkara Tracks review: "The Fishin' Buddy is a very versatile pack. Shown here worn as a lumbar pack, using the integrated, hidden waist belt."
  • The adjustable shock cord provides many different uses.
  • From Tenkara Tracks review: "Although not designed specifically for tenkara anglers, the design of the pack is very "tenkara-friendly". Two loops on the bottom of the pack allow up to two tenkara rods to be stowed and carried there while hiking. This is especially handy when fishing on the go while carrying a backpack. Shown with my 11' Iwana and 13'6" Amago, both produced by Tenkara USA. There's also a bungee cord on the bottom so you can stash a shell or windshirt"

  • The adjustable cross harness holds the pack firm against your chest so that it will not get in the way while bending over to land a fish.
  • DIY Tippet Spool Holder. All you need is a 10" - 12" piece of para-cord and a cord lock.

Product Description

It has been said that work is something you HAVE to do and play is something you do because you enjoy it. For the past several years a friend and I have been “working” on the Fishin’ Buddy. It has definitely been a labor of love. To do our “research” we frequently seek out the hard-to-get-to places in the backcountry of Colorado. In doing so we realized many years ago that a fly fishing vest just wasn’t very practical. So, I decided to design something that was lightweight, packable and minimalist in nature. It needed to have all the features I needed and none that I didn’t. My friend (and CO fly fishing guide) recently introduced me to an alternative style of fly fishing called Tenkara.  Though not specifically designed for a Tenkara rod, this it works very well to stow the rod underneath the pack.  It's a perfect place to carry the rod when making a short hike from our vehicle or camp down to the creek.   Best of all...the Fishin' Buddy Pack is made in the USA!  I hope you will find the Fishin’ Buddy as useful as I do.

  1. Well thought out design and well made

    Posted by Unknown on 20th Aug 2012

    Really well designed and thought out. I setup all my gear, some snacks and a water filter - had all day fishing in one small package.

    You can really tell this was created by an avid fisherman. Detail and function is amazing. Really well constructed.

    Perfect compliment for Tenkara rod.
