Going to Montana this summer fly fishing. Looking for recommendations for a waterproof bag to hold my Fuji xt'2 with 18-135 lens. Will be on a drift boat everyday. Have a Peak Design sling that maybe fine. Just checking.
Thanks

Check out dry bags for canoeing / kayaking.

I think so.
When bad weather threatens, protect your camera gear in this black Agua Stormproof Torso Pack 65 Pro DSLR from miggo. The pack converts from a backpack to a sling bag. It has a spacious main compartment with two padded dividers for storing a select DSLR with an attached 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom, 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (not mounted), flash unit, and related accessories. To accomplish the main mission of protecting gear, the pack has an IPX3 stormproof rating, water-repellent zippers, a thermo-forming reinforced bottom, and double-layered construction made from tarpaulin, neoprene, Lycra, and polyester materials.

The shoulder strap is removable, adjustable, detachable, and can serve double-duty as a camera strap. It comes with a stabilizing strap, three additional strap connectors, and a utility pouch for storing your memory cards, spare battery, and cables. Storage capabilities of the pack include a rear, zippered pocket for personal items and an inner pocket for your lens cap and memory card. Photographers will appreciate the zippered top flap that provides weather protection and quick access to gear.

Holds a select DSLR (such as Canon 5D mark III, Nikon D810) with an attached 24-70 f/2.8 lens
Stormproof quick-draw Torso Pack for all day all-weather use
IPX3 rainproof standard means it protects against water spraying up to 60 degrees from vertical at 10L/minute at a pressure of 80-100 kN/m2 for 5 minutes
Quick-adjusting detachable padded strap can also be attached to your camera
Fail-safe connecting buckles with locking system
Utility pouch for memory cards, spare battery, and cables
Detachable stabilizing diagonal strap
Rear pocket with zipper for keeping personal items safe and dry
Inner pocket for lens cover and memory card
2 adjustable padded dividers
Water-repellant zippers with miggo-branded zipper pulls
Thermo-forming reinforced bottom
Double-layered construction

In this case stormproof means it can withstand a hard rain. You want dunk resistant/proof. Quixdraw is right...get a drybag ... a good one.

I would not feel comfortable with it if I or it were to get dunked.....
Windy water (rain storm) is a lot different than IN the water.

...and don't open it while on the boat. No container is waterproof when open. I would not take the Fuji gear on such a venture. I'd bring a truly waterproof, impact resistant camera such as one of the Olympus Tough TG models. The picture quality will be 90% as good and nothing at risk.

The dry bags are excellent when used properly, but again, must remain closed to be effective.

He may have possibly meant bag, as in gear bag. not just for the camera.

Consider the Lowepro Flipside 300, 400 or 500. All have a built in waterproof rain fly. Got mine from B&H. I’ll be out there fly fishing as well. Have fun.

I love to kayak and I just bought an Olympus TG6 that's a waterproof shockproof camera. I deal for your trip

Have you considered a "Tough" camera? Easy to use, no bag, no worries. Olympus, and others, make good ones.

Stay safe, my friend. Remember, if drift boat overturns, save yourself first. After that, you can decide whether your camera bag or your wife is next. Montana should be beautiful.
