Gear Review: Sage Click & Pawl Reel

Gear Review: Patagonia Foot Tractor Wading Boots
Some say expensive fly fishing gear won’t catch more fish. We disagree. Good gear especially wading boots will catch more fish, because you’ll be more comfortable which allows you to be out on the water longer, hence, catching more fish. The Patagonia Foot Tractor wading boot is the first wading boot with a true hiking…

Fly Shop Small: Guide’s Guide on Gear
Tis the season for gifts and gift ideas. We know that anglers across the board can be “finical” or “particular” when it comes to gift-giving. Of course, whatever they receive they should be grateful and you as a good person want to make sure you’re at least going in the right direction. To point you…
