River Guide Tech Shirt

MSRP - $89.00

This fishing shirt isn’t just any fishing shirt. It is that quick dry shirt you can wear anywhere. We are all about versatility and this comfortable, breathable yet UPF 30+ shirt is it. It’s that go-to that keeps you cool even when it’s really hot on the front of that flats boat.

Women’s Tech Fishing Skort

By Patagonia

MSRP - $59.00

The skort may just be the perfect invention. Who doesn’t love the look of a skirt on the boat with the freedom of shorts? This tech skort is perfect. Quick dry of course and made with spandex (go ahead, eat that donut for breakfast). Wear it longer or cinch up the sides and make it shorter. And those colors

Cook Rose Gold Sunglasses

By Costa Del Mar

MSRP - $239.00

These aviators are so pretty you won’t want to take them off indoors. The rose gold color is subtle yet noticeable and the sleek design is so light it’s like protecting your eyes without wearing sunglasses at all. Polarized with their 580 lenses, you feel your eyes relax as soon as you put them on. They make great glasses to wear whether you’re in the boat or out.

Away From Home Shorts

By Patagonia

MSRP - $79.00

These shorts have just the right amount of pockets and are the perfect length. Not too long and not too short. We love them because they’re super comfortable, made with nylon and spandex, and weigh only 5 oz when you’re packing them in your suitcase! They also have a utility keeper in the right place for your hemostat. They’re also 50+ UPF!

Safe Passage Drop Bottom Duffel

By Orvis

MSRP - $229.00

There’s nothing fun about returning from a fishing trip abroad and opening your suitcase with still-wet clothes now mixed with clean clothes. This bag solves that problem. It has two compartments so you can stow your wet and dry clothes separately. It’s vented so you can even store your wet waders. It’s even got a side pocket for your shoes. It’s like they read our minds!

Native Z2 Sandal

By FISHPOND & CHACO

MSRP - $110.

Did you know that Fishpond and Chaco had a baby? It’s called the Native Z2 and the strap is brown trout. Wrap around toe design that we love in our Chacos and $5.00 from each pair purchased goes to Western Rivers Conservancy. Win-Win!

By Now

Gone Fishing Straw Sunhat

By Orvis

MSRP - $96.00

Nowadays it’s all about protecting your skin from the elements. Not only is this wide brim hat the perfect for the midday siesta or the local farmer’s market, it’s our everyday wear beach fishing in the salt. You know you want one.

The Simms Guide Classic Wader and Jacket

The Simms Guide Classic Wader and Jacket

I’m a bit of a gear junkie. I love good gear and I love good technology. I can also tend to be a brand snob. When I got into fly fishing back in the day, I wore Simms boy’s waders, casted a Sage 9’ 5-wt Light Line and

Survival of the Fittest - Or Most Prepared

Survival of the Fittest - Or Most Prepared

This is the current view from my office window…in Tennessee.  I moved here from Chicago four years ago because I wanted to be somewhere warm, without that white stuff, and without the single-digit temperatures. To say I feel like I was sold a bill of goods this morning when
