Hi. Anyone using a Lowepro (or similar) photo backpack instead of a purpose-built fishing one?
I like the look of the Korum backpacks, but about 15% of my work was photography and there are Lowepro backpacks that I've used over the years (especially with dual compartments), that would do the job equally as well... and possibly better.
The upside of the Korum ones is that they are mud coloured - and they're not much more expensive than a used (usually black) Lowepro on eBay. But some of the Lowepro ones open from the rear, so the straps and back won't get mud all over your back at the end of a session. I'm float fishing only and I've got an old Brady for when I want to go stripped-down trotting/roving.
Just thought I'd scratch an itch by asking the question. Thanks.
