You may need to cut one panel of the bag vertically in the center of the snap to allow it to fit around the handle. Then just snap close it from each side towards the center.

I found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/...&hash=item5641bd5018 or you could try asking rgmcbrid as he is the fisher dealer and will probably have the BH contact. I've been giving him a lot of good press lately (I should ask for commission). Happy Hunting.
