Last year Simms released their latest version of their ever popular G3 Guide Wading Boots. We’ve logged a lot of hours in past models of the G3 Guide series, and we think these are the best model yet. Here’s why. Bombproof Design.

The Rubber Legged Gotcha – Tying Instructions
It’s no secret that the Gotcha is one of the greatest bonefish flies of all time. We’d go out on a whim and say it has probably caught more bonefish than any other fly pattern in the world, and we use a lot of them. However, our bonefish on South Andros really seem to have…

We’ve tied on many styles of tubing from inexpensive ‘Q-Tip’ tubes to many of the commercial fly tying tubes available today, but…
