| | Grundéns Boundary Zip Stockingfoot Wader Grundéns is one of the most trusted names in fishing, especially the commercial space. When they came out with fly fishing waders, most of us gear nuts were excited to see them.

| | Riversmith River Quiver Rooftop rod racks are almost a must-have in any fly fishing town, and few products are better than Riversmith’s River Quiver. Riversmith was one of the first to market with the rod rack, and it shows in their dedication to quality and detail. See more » |
| | Free Fly Bamboo Lightweight Fleece Hoodie Built to be incredibly soft, it features a brushed fleece interior that feels more like cashmere. It has plenty of flex to move with you, and it’s light enough that it’s become a go-to for me while traveling. See more » |
|
| | Tenkara USA Hane Coming in at just under 15 inches when collapsed, it expands to 10’10”, making it an ideal all-around tenkara rod. It’ll fit in just about any day pack, or even on the side of a mountain bike and weighs 3.5 ounces, which is pretty remarkable. See more » |
| | VAER C5 Tactical Field Watch The C5 is nice enough to pair with formal attire, but rugged enough to handle any of your adventures out on the water. The C5 also has a solar-powered option, if you want to go that route. See more » |
|
| | Redington Wrangler Kit In a 5-weight model, it’s truly a do-it-all trout rod capable of handling everything from streamers to small dry flies. But the Wrangler Kit isn’t just limited to trout-friendly configurations. See more » |

| | Riversmith Swiftcast Raft Rod Holder The Riversmith Swiftcast Raft Rod Holder is designed to be a universal fit on and standard raft frame. No matter how tricked out or customized your fly fishing raft is, the Swiftcast should fit just fine. See more » |
| | Skwala Fusion Snap Shirt This isn’t your standard bulky button-up insulated shirt. It fits more like a light jacket, but it’s stuffed with Skwala’s 3DEFX+ insulation (which is warmer and lighter than PrimaLoft) and it features Skwala’s usual articulated sleeves.

| | Ventures Fly Co All-Rounder Tool Kit This fly tying tool kit features hackle pliers, scissors, a ceramic bobbin holder, hair stacker, bobbin threader, whip finisher, and bodkin, all for $60. You’ll also get a link to their online beginner fly tying masterclass. See more » |
| | Fishpond Nomad Emerger Net It’s a light, versatile net that’s perfect for my style of fishing here in the Rockies, and I reckon it’ll work for most trout anglers across the country. See more » |
|
| | G. Loomis IMX-PRO Creek All IMX-PRO Creek rods are 7’9″ in length, and you can buy them in weights 2, 3, or 4. That 7’9″ length is perfect for small streams and smaller trout, but the 4-weight especially has enough backbone to handle a dry-dropper rig, or larger fish. See more » |
| | Coalatree Trailhead Pants They’ll stretch and move with you, instead of inhibiting your movement. For fly anglers, these would make great pants for wet wading, or wearing beneath waders. See more » |
|
| | Hardy Ultradisc Cassette Reel With three cassettes included (and you can always buy more from Hardy) you’re essentially buying three reels for the price of one. The convenience is hard to beat, and these reels look fantastic, too. See more » |
