It's much more convenient, especially if you like to do a decent amount of hiking/fishing in a day.
+1 for the reason's given and the fact that I rock hop/climb a lot and I need to see where my feet go, something you don't get with a chest pack.
I do still like vests but the ability to carry multiple water bottles, rain gear, and dry boots for the walk out as well as some beers has got me into the aforementioned packs.
