I'd like a fanny pack like the Simms Dry Creek model, hoping someone has one or something similar they aren't using and are willing to sell.

you said fanny pack.

I know, lame, but I like them, easy out of the way storage.

Damn the 80's!

Just got a patagonia stormfront hip pack for Xmas. Sweeeeet! Very expensive, but will last a longtime. You can sit on the pack and the zipper will hold in the air. Now thats waterproof!

I paid $99 for my simms at sportco, not a bad deal in my opinion.

Ted,.ebay has some nice fish pond, patagonia, and sage ones.

The LLBean roll top fanny is very good for the price(have one). I'm guessing much more waterproof than the zippers on the dry creek models.

hit up recycled waders, local bunch and some cool stuff!

I just checked it out and ebay has some good deals on chest packs.
I think I am going to get one at some of the prices on there.
