If you want to spend a bit more and definitely get what you pay for, I would HIGHLY recommend the Maxpedition Versipack. I say this in the context of ultralight fishing, but they also have items in this line that would do for any angler who wanted to go the route of a cross-body bag. I find it much more comfortable than a fanny-pack and you can sling it behind you making it darned near unnoticeable. I have had mine for about ten years, used it several times a week the entire time, and there is not a stitch that has frayed. They are very water resistant and the main compartment has an additional water resistant membrane with a cinch closure. I have never had water intrusion due to even heavy rain. The compartments vary in size and configuration for everything from a couple mini-tackle cases, bug spray, a jar of “Gulp”, to a zippered small place on the front flap for your various and sundry licenses. Heck, you can even accessorize it for CCW. If you haven’t noticed I think you should get one.

I just extend the straps as long as I can on mine and sling it over my shoulder, this also helps with my nearsightedness. the only thing I'd highly recommend that I learned from fanny-pack fishin' is getting yourself a pair of 6-8" forceps, not only do they fit in the smallest of fish-mouths but you can just clamp them on the outside of the pack for even more super quick one-handed access. I actually have 3 different fanny packs I use, a mostly empty one just for quick pick rando trips, a fully dedicated one for trout, and another slightly larger one loaded for general purpose fishing anywhere with a pack rod & reel for like going right from work or something like that so it'll fit in say an employee locker... . . . or in packed/cramped transportation like a bus or plane.
