Customer Reviews: GreenCaddis Fly Tying Hooks
Several months ago we launched the GreenCaddis brand of fly tying hooks to complement our fly boxes and scissors. We are excited and encouraged by the feedback our customers have given us and we are moving into the next phase of the process which is to introduce more styles and sizes. As the temperature drops and the fishing slows we move into “tying season” and this year as you stock your boxes for next year we hope you can consider giving GreenCaddis hooks a try.

Yeti Coolers
The last cooler you will ever buy… until you want another YetiKeeping things cold is what it all comes down to, and the Yeti deliver. I loaded up the cooler with bottles of water and ice tea for a family outting recently. A few hours later I went digging for and ice tea, and found upon opening my drink, it turned to slush. The Cooler worked so well it actually made my drink partialy freeze!!!
Reader Review: Regal Fly Tying Vise
The performance of Regal vises lies in the unique design of our head and jaws which consistently hold the hook in place better than any of the competitive vises on the market, and allows for immediate change in hook sizes with absolutely no adjustments. This saves time and frustration and the tier can meet the demands of the next fishing outing in one tying session.
Rio Hover Line- the slow sinking intermediate
The new Rio Hover Line is a innovative specialty line that should catch the eye of a range of anglers. Traditionally “intermediate” lines have a sink rate of 2ips (inches per second). This new line has a sink rate of 1ips, and while it technically lives in the same realm as sinks and intermediate lines… [...]
Scientific Angler Mastery Textured Titan line
You wouldn’t drive a railroad spike with a small finishing hammer… and you don’t want to throw big streamers with a long fine taper dry fly line. The Titan has a lot of mass up front in the double taper. which allows for the delivery of big flies. You also get the ability to generate fast line speed with minimal backcast… which in non-geek-speak means less chance of crushing yourself with a large hook and more time with the fly in the water.
Kast Extreme Fishing Gear- Steelhead Glove Review
It’s no secret, if fish in cold weather you get cold hands. Add to that landing fish and getting your hands wet, then you have numb fingers making fly fishing near impossible. The hunt for perfect cold weather fishing gloves is an ongoing process for all cold weather anglers and usually involved sacrificing fit for [...]
Redington Sonic Pro Wader review
The recent years have seen many improvements in fishing outerwear materials and most specifically waders. Redington has now jumped the game with not only top tier materials, but in the way a wader is constructed. No thread, no seams, no holes… The Redington Sonic Pro wader. Traditional wader construction consists of sewn fabric then sealing [...]
Abel Nippers
Abel is well known for their high quality fly reels, and more recently their quality line of accessories. The newest product to their line is “The Abel Nippers”. These are not your dollar store fingernail clippers… in both quality and function. Abel is proud to have the nippers “designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA”. [...]
Montana Fly Company- MFC Boat Box
4000 flies in one fly box? Yeah Montana Fly Company did that. Back in August at the IFTD show I was cruising all the cool stuff at the MFC booth and happened upon their new MFC Boat Box (winner in the Fly Box/Storage System category). Most people (like me) want to fish as light as [...]
Somerset Fly Fishing Show 2012
January 27, 28, and 29 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset New Jersey. This show has an international pool of the top fly tiers, fly fisherman, and fly fishing companies. Walking the floor is almost an overload of all things FLY. I tried to make sense of it all [...]
Beulah Platinum Switch Rod Review
Switch rods have been gaining a lot of popularity of the past 5yrs or so. A versatile rod that can be used in 2handed spey casting, single handed spey casting, tradition over head, and nyphing when you need long mends or reaches. A swiss army knife of the fly world, a rod that can do [...]
Nymphing with Switch and Spey Rods- by Dave Henry
Dave Henry has taken on a great new topic… 2handed rods for trout. While mainly a tool for targeting steelhead and salmon, 2handed rods (commonly called spey or switch rods) have a loyal following looking to expand their horizons; taking a rod that has its origins in swinging flies and applying it to nymphing. Dave does a great job breaking down tackle and technique.
