Product Review: Simms Taco Bag
The Simms Taco Bag can really be described in one word. Simplicity. The bag can be unzipped and laid on the ground in a large circle (a proverbial wader bag tortilla) to provide an excellent place to stand when getting in your waders at the beginning of the day. When the time has come to [...]
Product Review: Umpqua Magnum Midge Fly Box
The Umpqua Magnum Midge Fly Box is one of my new favorite fly boxes to own. Its slim design is nice so you can stuff more boxes in your pack. This box has so many slits in the foam it’s hard to fill the box up with all your small dries. This box has 2 [...]

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.
