For any fly fisher choosing the right fly line can be a complicated task. Understanding the action of a certain fly rod, the mechanics of your cast, and what you’re trying to accomplish with certain flies can all be good variables to base a decision. Clearly some make it easy, […]
Umpqua Feather Merchants just released their new line of UPG fly boxes. Completely redesigned from the bottom up, these new fly boxes offer versatility and durability that can’t be matched. These new boxes feature TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) inserts which are lighter than silicone, hold their shape longer, more resilient to […]
