Leland on the Fishpond Arroyo Chest Pack
Is it fair to the flats angler that all the really cool chest packs are designed for the freshwater guys and gals?
The Fishpond Arroyo Chest Pack
actually gives both the salt and fresh fly angling minimalist one great
pack. The Arroyo is designed as a smaller choice than the Fishpond Windwalker/ Waterdance packs and the San Juan/Seychelles packs. The Arroyo is perfect for quick trips on the flats, the stream or lake when
you need just a little more than one fly box, but not everything in the
vest or gear bag! For all you deep wading anglers, the Arroyo quickly converts from a lumbar pack to a chest pack. If you just can't make up your mind between flats or streams, the Fishpond Arroyo Chest Pack is for you.
Leland on the Specifications
Not all chest or tackle pack have to carry everything in your gear bag! The Fishpond Arroyo Chest Pack comes to the rescue. With its low profile it can be worn on either the chest or around the waist as lumbar pack. The main zippered pocket has 3 individual compartments along with a separator zippered mesh pocket. Of course there is the Fishpond signature zip down fly bench, complete with replaceable foam and molded pocket design. When combining the fixed neck strap and the padded waist strap, the Arroyo makes a great chest pack but using the quick release buckles on the neck strap it converts to a lumbar pack. No worries about weight here; it's constructed of lightweight, waterproof, breathable fabric. There more attachment points than you will ever use. The prime colors of Barnwood or Cottonwood or Deepwater Blue are characteristically Fishpond.

Leland on Fishpond:
How many times have you been on the water and said "I wish this tackle pack had a . . ." Well John Le Coq and David Thompson at Fishpond are just like you except they acted on those same thoughts and started designing innovative products that were fly fishing friendly. After a tough fishing day they had developed several products that they thought would make not only their lives easier, but every anglers day on the water just a little more enjoyable. They started small by designing a nipper here, a thermometer there and before they knew what was happening they were working tackle packs and luggage. In the short few years that Fishpond has been designing fly fishing products they have quickly established a strong reputation as a company focused on doing things right. Each tool no matter how small, each bag no matter how big, is designed with you the angler in mind. The guys at Fishpond have realized that there is more than one kind of angler and as result there are tools, chest packs, and luggage for the angler fishing for the tiniest trout to the angler after the largest billfish and for the day-tripper to the world traveler. Each new bag or tool they introduce instantly becomes part of our line-up.
Fishpond on the Arroyo Chest Pack
"It’s just comfortable. This minimalist chest/lumbar pack is perfect when a single fly box isn't enough, but more than two is just too much. Wear as a chest, waist, or sling bag for any local creek or stream."

Fishpond - The Ripple Effect
Much of the success of fishpond is directly attributable to the passion
and love we have for the outdoors. Each of us, over the years, has
approached conservation in a personal way. We practice responsible
stewardship and believe that every small act counts.
We call it the "Ripple Effect" - the collective impact of individuals
performing in an environmentally conscious manner and leading to
lasting change, in thinking, in deeds and in results. Conservation of
our natural world is a shared responsibility and we are proud that
fishpond is creating its own ripples. We're starting small, looking for
ways to reduce our footprint on the environment while continuing to
provide the highest levels of quality and value in every fishpond
product. From an examination of our source materials to an analysis of
our business processes, we're committed to being thorough and more
cognizant of our impact as a company.
We're confident these steps will yield positive results for both our
company and our environment. With each step forward, each new ripple we
create, we move closer to becoming a company that embodies our vision
for what the fishpond brand can be.
