We’re nearing the end of the year, and you know what that means – we wouldn’t be a self-respecting blog without running a series on our best posts of the year. For 2012 we’re going to go with the top 7 in each category, because 7 seems like a good number and we’re a little bit crazy.
We’re kicking things off with everybody’s favorite topic – fly fishing gear!
Best Gear Posts of 2012
- Fly Fishing Gear Mega Page. Well how do you like that? Our giant categorized roundup of all of our posts about gear was super popular this year.
- Sage 8136-4 ONE Spey Rod Review. The ONE two-handers were highly anticipated, and this was the first of three reviews on the series that we wrote in 2012.
- Best Sandals Ever? It’s not all about graphite and grain weights. Spoiler alert: these sandals have a bottle opener built in.
- Sage ONE Review for Bonefishing. In which we take the ONE single-hander out on the flats and catch bonefish with it.

- Dean Steelhead Fly Roundup. All our posts about which bugs to fish for the royalty of steelhead.
Have you ever done a blog/posts about “favorite- best – worst silver salmon rod ? A lot of people who have extensive trout experience and then go to Alaska don’t have a silver salmon rod, so opinions of others could be of value as they decide which rod to get. Could do the same for reels. I know when we did our first trip in 2004, we acquired proper rod, but had no idea that we needed a higher quality drag that what we were used to fishing for trout
That’s a great point Bryan – we’ll add a ‘favorite silver salmon rod’ poll to the list. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
