Fastpacking + tenkara (well, nymphing with a seiryu rod to be more accurate). This is the previous generation 30L model. No, not the lightest stripped down UL pack, but it is good at it's intended niche - moving quickly and comfortably. If your backpacking includes some running and loads under 20 lb, it's worth a try. I find it very comfortable, and the pouches on the front are great for organization (i.e. water bottles, fly boxes/tippet, camera/phone, sunscreen, knife, headlight, TP - really, anything small that you might need quickly and don't want remove the pack). Aside from backpacking (3-4 day UL trips), this pack has worked great as a travel bag / carry-on, and fishing pack when a long approach hike is involved. Downside is your back will get sweaty.

fishbulbAdjustable rod case from Tenkarabum.com - works great for my rods that didn't come with a hard case. Lightweight and pretty affordable too.

CollectiveMindI think the pack rides great, but your back will get a little sweaty. The perforated back panel fabric helps, but that's an issue with most any frameless pack. I got the old 30L to use as a multitasker that I could take out for a few days on the trail or cinch down for day use. I imagine the current smaller models (15 & 25 L) would make excellent fishing day packs when there's some hiking involved. Not the absolute lightest, but the easy-access organizational pockets on the front are outstanding for fishing.
