Fly fishing, if you fancy that sort of thing, is the perfect complement to a bike packing adventure. It’s the great leveller, providing both a destination and communion with the natural waterways of the area. Seattle’s Swift Industries teamed up with Tenkara Rod Co. on a collaboration that’s the perfect complement to a bike packing, fly fishing adventure.
“The Elwha Pack is the brainchild of Swift Industries and Tenkara Rod Co. and is in equal measure a hip pack and a bicycle handlebar bag. Mounted at the bars of your bicycle, the hip pack straps stow discreetly out-of-sight, and the bag secures to the bars using a soft-mount webbing system. No racks or metal attachments are necessary.
“The 2.5 liter pack was built for your essential fly fishing kit, sunscreen, maps, and windbreaker. There are two exterior webbing straps on the base of the Elwha Pack to securely carry your limited edition Swift Industries X Tenkara Rod Co. fishing pole.
“The Elwha and collaboration Tenkara Co. fly rod combo is available for pre-order via the website and starts shipping worldwide on July 20th, 2018. The Elwha Pack is priced at $120 and the Swift Industries X Tenkara Rod Co. Combo is $270.” More details on the site.
