I use a med/sm clear waterproof bag.  To date I put fast access stuff in
there as well, toilet paper, lunch, visine.  But I would like to stuff my
orange fly & a water bottle in there.  I'll probably get a bigger bag so it
will all fit.  The fly would be hypothermia gear on the first night and
thereafter tied in a tree for a signal.

additions to Bob's list
------------------------------
vhf & gps (better yet add epirb)
banner like signal device (fly for me)
fishing bottle (spice bottle with hour glass shape to hold line)
  20# braid w/ 15:12 leader:tippet (that way you don't loose the whole line)
  earplug with a few flies and hooks stuck in it (earplug will make a float)
  plastic worm (in a baggie or it disolves the bottle) & p.worm hook
  worm sinker and split shot
compass
water bottle (conserve energy: your best signaling position may be a ways
from h2o)
tether bag to wrist
