Islander Lx 3.6 fly reel: This reel is great for durability and longevity. Great drag and very versatile size for salmon and trout. Hand made and machined to perfection it is my favourite reel and the one in my lineup I trust the most. (Canadian-made too!)
Patagonia Guidewater backpack: Great for long adventures in the bush and steelheading. Fully waterproof feature has been perfect for me as I like fishing in the rain and wading across rivers. Keeps all my gear perfectly dry and have not had any issues with the waterproof zipper.
Echo Boost Blue Fly rod 9' 8wt: Perfect for all things salmon and bull trout. Faster action with the power that allows me to cast big flies and heavy sink tips. Durable and easy to warranty. Is great for fighting big fish and just looks good doing it. Matches my blue islander perfectly.
Patagonia Swift Current wading jacket: Fully waterproof and durable. Has a great hood feature that keeps your neck and face dry and protected from the elements. Doesn’t scratch or rip at all and has treated me well for my adventures in the backcountry.(Currently on sale - while supplies last.)
Smith Guide's Choice sunglasses: Perfect for long days on the water. Comfortable and light on your face. Give great vision and have one of the best polarized lenses on the market. Allows me to spot fish through the current that others can’t.
Fishpond Tacky Fly boxes: Super durable and waterproof. Keep my flies dry which has been a problem for me in the past. Light and come in a variety of sizes so I can carry lots of streamers or a small dry fly box in my pocket for an evening walk and wade outing. |
SF flash blend fly tying material: Super easy to tie with and love the color options. Looks great in almost every streamer I have used it in.
