Waterproof Phone Cases & Dry Bags
Protect phones, keys, documents, and spare layers from Utah Lake spray, rain, mud, and accidental drops.
Why this matters on Utah Lake
- Wind + waves: Utah Lake can splash hard enough to soak pockets and open tackle bags.
- Mud + sand: dropping a phone once can ruin charging ports and cameras.
- Tournament pace: your phone is your camera, timer, map, and sometimes your score-keeping tool.
If you’re gearing up for early starts, pair this with headlamps & lights and a cleaner fish-care setup from unhooking mats & tools.
Pick 1 waterproof strategy (simple)
- Waterproof phone pouch (lanyard) — easiest “works with any phone” option.
- Waterproof case (full-time case) — good if you want protection all day, not just when it’s rough.
- Waterproof waist pack / small dry bag — protects phone + keys + wallet + spare hooks.
Tip: test your pouch/case at home with a paper towel inside first.
The “worth it” extras
- 10L roll-top dry bag — for spare layers, towel, and a small tackle box.
- Floating strap / lanyard upgrade — prevents “dropped phone into shallow mud” disasters.
- Reusable silica packs — stash in your tackle backpack to fight condensation and dampness.
