Fly Fishing Gear, Clothing, and Boats

Ro Drift Boats
I can say only good things about my RO so far. These boats are tough and light, and there built by real fishermen. "Not All Those Who Drift Are Lost."

Hatch Reels
I have fished a lot of reels over the years, and these reels are the best I have ever held in my hand. Their are light and tuff, and the drags are totally enclosed making them a great winter Steelhead reel.

Simms
What can I say, Simms have the best gortex waders and raincoats in the business. I've been wearing their outer wear since my days in Alaska. It's never failed me yet.

Sage
What can you say about Sage, there still hanbuilt in the USA, and the variety of rods to choose from are endless. I recommend their Z-Axis Switch Rods.

Patagonia
Patagonia makes the best undergarments in the business. They're enviromentally friendly with almost all of their products made of recycled goods.

Smith Action Optics
I wear their glasses when I'm fishing, biking or skiing, day in and day out. I highly recommend their amber,copper or brown lenses for Michigan's waters. You will be amazed in what your missing on the stream.

Rio
Rio makes some of the finest casting fly lines I have ever used.
