mike, I've been wondering about those since they first came out. How did you like it for comfort, useability and capacity?

Do you have the hydration system with it?

I think the creel is great for small to midsize streams. If you're the kind of person who has to have every box with them at all times, this probably isn't the piece of gear for you. It's not that it's short on space really, but the main "front" compartment is good for one big box or a couple of smaller boxes. All other boxes have to go in the "creel" portion of the pack. I found it to be comfortable and it was really easy to just flip around over your shoulder to get to the "back" of the pack where you get the most storage. It has the normal WJ stuff like built in zingers, a thing for holding floatant, various other compartments, etc.... I never found a reasonable way to attach a net to the pack that wouldn't interfere with flipping it around or make it a pain to get yo your net when you need it. However I rarely use a net these days so it wasn't a big deal to me. The pack itself was quite comfortable I thought. It was nice for casting as there's very little on the right side of your body to "get in the way." It was also pretty cool as it doesn't really have a huge footprint on your torso like a vest.

Sorry Bruce! No hydration system included... That would be sweet. You could always add one on! =)
