Review of Clear Creek Highlandville Rolling Duffle

When I fly to fish I've learned through experience to bring only one piece of checked luggage, as the inevitable end-of-the-line charter or bush plane flight always limits you to one bag. So I have six requirements for my one checked bag: (1) It has to hold ALL my stuff; (2) It has to have wheels, bottom skids, and a telescoping handle for dragging around; (3) It has to have a hard bottom and sides; (4) It has to provide segregated storage for wet stuff; (5) It has to stand on end when packed without falling over; and, (6) It has to be light enough to stay under the ridiculous 50-pound weight limitation to avoid getting whacked $25 for being two pounds over.

Clear Creek's new Highlandville Rolling Duffle has all of the foregoing attributes, and much more. Made from rugged, rip-stop nylon, it weighs only nine pounds, taking a small bite out of the weight allowance. The hard-bottomed and --sided lower compartment is vented for wet storage, with the huge top compartment--with three rod-tube holders --will handle everything I need for two weeks on the road. Six zippered mesh interior pockets are perfect for keeping small items at hand. Three zippered exterior compartments, an internal rigid frame, and the four padded carry handles and straps are just frosting on the cake. This is a keeper (which is precisely what I'm going to do).
