Leland on the Sage Destination X Lumbar Pack:


Some of us just don’t wade deep! The Sage Destination X Lumbar Pack is a great fanny pack for fly anglers. With a 3 inch-wide belt that fits snug against your waist, it has terrific lower back support for those of us in that age bracket and just the right amount of pockets and storage for a day on the water. Although the Sage Lumbar Pack is designed for rough and tumble fly angling, with its classic colors, this pack does it all in style. Can’t you just picture yourself knee deep in the turquoise water of Christmas Island? We can!

Leland on the Specifications

 
Can’t quite make up your mind between a fanny pack and a chest pack? The Sage DXL Lumbar Fanny Pack while technically a fanny pack with its removable chest strap gives you the ability to have both! The main two compartments keep your fly boxes and accessories like tippet, leaders, and indicators…separate, while the outer slash pockets give you instant access to those items nearest and dearest to anglers. The large padded waist belt along with the additional zippered and mesh belt pockets for the smaller items provide extreme comfortable for a full day on the water. If you can’t find a pocket in the Sage Lumbar Fanny Pack to store it in then you probably don’t need to take it!



Leland on Sage Chest and Tackle Packs:


Searching through vest pockets to find the right fly box or your stash of yarn can, at times, be challenging. Vest pockets just aren’t made to carry your lunch, a drink and enough to keep you warm and dry. So, if you’re looking to make a change from a fly fishing vest to a chest pack and or tackle pack, look no further than the leader in the fly fishing industry, Sage! Few companies have influenced the fly fishing world more than Sage Manufacturing. They are the front runner when it comes to fly rod design, and now, they’re leading the way in chest and tackle pack design. The folks at Sage have taken their river and flats fishing experiences and applied that knowledge to the design of chest, tackle and back packs. And these fly fishing chest, tackle and back packs are as good looking as they are functional.

When it comes to fly fishing, few manufacturers hit the water harder and stay longer than the folks at Sage. When you look at any of their catalogs, you will notice, first and foremost, that these people fly fish. Next, you’ll see they fly fish in some wonderful locations! The result? They know what fly fishing is all about and what’s needed either on stream, river or flat. As a result, Sage Destination X bags are designed to get the job done. From the multi-pocketed Chest Pack, to the carry-it-all Backpack, these packs have one design theme in mind; making your time on the water more pleasurable.

These fly fishing packs are built to take the demands associated with river and flats work. They’re constructed from a combination of rip-stop and Cordura nylons. All zippers are non-corrosive and all straps are designed for comfort and breathability. Lumbar straps are supportive and the color scheme is a neutral sage and stone.

• Constructed with rip-stop and Cordura nylons
• Zippers are non-corrosive
• Straps are padded and designed for breathability

"Whether it's a half-day on home waters or halfway around the world, our new Destination X Luggage line gets you on the water with gear intact and well organized."

Sage on Conservation:


Something New From Sage:
“It’s difficult to fully appreciate the beauty of the fish we seek—a wild trout’s jeweled radiance, a striper’s robust profile, the immaculate chrome of a fresh-run steelhead—without coming to some kind of understanding about the places they live. Ultimately, these fish are the very essence of their home waters.

With this in mind, we as a company are working to become better caretakers of the water we love so much. [Our catalog] is one example of our efforts. Produced with soy ink on chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer recycled paper by a Forest Stewardship Council-certified printer, this publication makes a significantly lower impact on the environment than a traditional catalog. Our hope is that you’ll see the value of what we’re doing and refer to our website for the full lineup of rods, reels and other gear.

Will this change the world? Not by a long shot. We understand the small steps we’re taking—such as doing away with paper order forms or replacing worn office carpet with sustainable products—won’t save the environment on their own. But it’s a start. We’re also continuing our support of groups like the Hoh River Trust, the Haig-Brown Institute, the Federation of Fly Fishers and Trout Unlimited. And, as one of 37 companies making up the Sportsman’s Alliance for Alaska, we’re committed to fight the disastrously planned Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay. Small steps, yes. But we think they’re in the right direction.

If it only makes a small difference, you may ask, why would we give up something as important as our catalog? Or go out of the way to make our day-to-day work more difficult? Or spend valuable time and resources on projects that will never generate a profit? The only answer is another question: As a company of people who live to fish, how could we not? See you on the water.”

Sage on Fly Fishing:


"Kids at Play: Remember when you got so excited you couldn’t sleep the night before fishing? Or how your hands shook with anticipation trying to rig up? Or the hopes held in a morning’s thrilling first cast?

Of course, after a lifetime of fishing, it’s awfully easy to become jaded. Tales of huge fish in exotic destinations are a long way from the kid who, fearing he’d sleep past dawn, lay on his back in the tent, holding tennis shoes above his face. In the unlikely event he should actually drift off, the shoes would bounce off his head to wake him. And that was just to catch first light at the local bluegill pond.

In the soul of every angler lives the kind of fun we felt as kids. It’s what keeps our love for fishing alive. A psychologist might say we’re harboring some kind of Peter Pan complex, but for us, it’s what fly fishing is really all about. It might also explain why people are always asking anglers when they plan to “grow up.”

We feel the same kind of excitement about introducing our new Z-Axis rods. We knew it wouldn’t be easy to replace our much-loved XP line, but after spending the last three years in deep R&D, we are positively giddy about these rods. When the people who work here start fighting over who gets to fish the prototypes, well, you know you’re on to something.

We’d also like to introduce you to J.D. Love and Brian Horsley, who provide the kind of on-the-water-every-day input that’s essential to creating rods with maximum fishability. J.D. and Brian are “serious” anglers, but even after decades of guiding, both retain a kid’s excitement about fishing. Our kind of people. Whether you last felt the anticipation that leads to sleepless nights and shaking hands a week ago or a lifetime ago, may you experience it again in the upcoming season. When are we going to grow up...Hopefully never. See you out there."
