Default Backpack?

I am looking for a backpack that has the ability to hold a rod case and
waders. Does anybody have any suggestions?

TIA
Ben

Well, a pack/travel rod and waders don't necessarily need to go inside...

I purchased the Orvis Safe Passage Backpack on a closeout last year for
$59.oo before the now model came out.
I've used it up on the McCloud River in Northern CA the Memorial Day
weekend, makes hiking with gear very easy.
I store my waders and boots inside the backpack along with other items and
my 4pc rod cases on the outside. The new model is on sale for $111.30.

Waders (and particularly wading boots) and backpacks go together like fly
fishing and canoes.

:-)

(who honestly would not want to add his waders and wading boots to his pack
weight)

(and who, equally honestly, quite enjoys fly fishing from a canoe, but just
couldn't pass up using the line)

With all the five or more piece rods available today, there is a
practically unlimited variety of packs available that will do the job.
Any recommendations you get here will tell you only what you now
already know and that whoever makes the recommendation is satisfied
with a particular pack for reasons that must be based on arbitrary and
highly idiosyncratic tastes. Your best bet is to rely on your own past
experience (if any) and to ferret out a brick and mortar store with a
large selection, and then try them out in the company of a
knowledgeable friend or (if such can be found) salesperson. Cabela's,
Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, and REI, are all likely candidates if
you can get to any of them. There are many other smaller (and more
specialized) vendors.
