The Fishpond Firehole Backpack is an absolute favorite among backcountry anglers and travelers around the world, because the thoughtful backpack not only convinces when stalking trout in a remote area, it also makes a very good figure on a normal trail during a hike!
The special feature of the Firehole Backpack is that this backpack is made from front to back for the backpackers among anglers. He convinces on the one hand with a low overall weight and on the other hand with an exceptionally good wearing comfort. These are two extremely important points when it comes to hiking along the river all day. Sufficient water, even for particularly hot days can be stowed in the two mesh pockets on the backpack or else in an inner pocket that has a passage for a hydration system. The 26 liter and 100% recycled backpack offers enough space inside for fly tins or a packed lunch, because the most important tools for a day of fishing can be attached to the outside of the backpack, so they are always at hand. Small pockets on the backpack and even in the waist belt offer enough options and even the landing net can be put in a designated tab. Optionally, however, the Firehole also offers the classic D-ring on the back of the backpack, to which a magnetic system including net can be attached.
One of the most ingenious features of the Firehole, however, is the stowable Hypalon pocket! This hanging bag can be attached to the outside of the backpack and offers you the unique opportunity to store your waders and wading shoes, whether wet or dry! So your backpack always stays clean inside and the best part is probably that long distances to the river do not have to be walked completely in the waders. This protects the waders in rough terrain and is much more pleasant on hot days. Arrived at the water, the waders can simply be taken out of the bag and the hiking boots stowed inside.
Of course, the Firehole Backpack from Fishpond is also 100% recycled material. Fishpond processes from old fishing nets to fully recycled fly box pretty much everything and constantly strives to develop new materials from old things, clear thumbs up from us!

Established more than 20 years ago, the American manufacturer Fishpond is known for high-quality backpacks, packs and accessories. In fact, all of these products have one thing in common: They combine a practice-oriented design, an outstanding quality and a stylish appearance – exactly what demanding fly fishermen need. Furthermore, Fishpond places great emphasis on sustainability, which leads to eco-friendly production methods and an inspiring company philosophy. Thus, most products are made almost exclusively from recycled materials.
