Product Review : Dakine Waterproof Duffel
Most people don’t think of Dakine when they think of fly fishing gear, but I am here to tell you that they should. A perfect example is the Dakine Waterproof Duffel. This gear bag is made of waterproof fabric and all the seams are sealed. It features a roll-top that runs along the long side [...]
Product Review: William Joseph Coastal Pack
These days fly anglers have more option and better products with innovative features than we ever dreamed of when it comes to fly gear. From fly lines, rods, reels to waders we are truly spoiled with great companies and innovative products. With that being said I’ve never been much of a fan of the quintessential [...]
2011 “What The Shuck” Dealer Rendezvous Update #2
Fish, fish and more, well, other stuff. We all floated the Rio Grande and the river came into shape just in time. Saying the fishing was fantastic is a monumental understatement. The stones (multiple species), flavs, drakes and PMDs are coming off and the fish were looking up. Here are just a few highlights and [...]
2011 “What The Shuck” Dealer Rendezvous Update #1
With one night under our belt, I felt that you all might enjoy a quick update from the field (it is all work right?!?). As I am typing this, I am sitting in the back of a diesel-powered dodge truck, enroute to launch the drift boat on the Rio Grande River. The power of technology…we [...]
Quija Nymphing
Last year, I took a friend who had never floated in a drift boat to float the A-section of the Green River. It was mid-week, which meant that there were very few Floaties on the river. I had placed my friend the pole position in the front of the boat in order to ensure he [...]
A Short List of Fly Fishers that I would love to have lunch with…
…or, even better, spend a day on the water with. Honestly, this was a very difficult list to come up with. Not because there are few, but because there are so many accomplished anglers both past and present. One could easily list their top 25, or even top 50, and still feel like important people [...]
Ten Questions with SA’s Jeff Wieringa
We sat down with Scientific Angler’s Jeff Wieringa and asked him ten questions. If you don’t know Jeff, you should. You probably owe a lot of the innovations in fly fishing to his mad-scientist type mind. He is inventor of Sharkskin and the designer of the new Scientific Anglers waterproof fly boxes. Jeff was the [...]
First Sleepwalking, Now Sleep Fly Tying???
Doctors Orders: Take one Ambien (a sleeping pill with apparently some side effects) before bedtime and tie a fly while you sleep. Apparently, I did just that. I awoke to find this little size #18 baetis nymph in my vise. Different from the baetis I normally tie, I vaguely remember dreaming about tying this fly [...]
More Non-Fishing Uses For Fly Tying Materials
With the craze of all the ladies putting feathers in their hair (see our recent post about this), we started thinking about all the materials we have in our fly tying department. Our findings…the fly tying selection also doubles as a fashion gold mine! As we stood looking at all the possibilities, we were overwhelmed [...]
