“I'm loving the "Purple Reign" right now, a nice flash of color with a hot spot and some hackle. Seems to be a go to confidence fly for me these days!”


Below are 80 fishing goods, a mix of vintage finds and modern gear.

Some are old favorites that have already proven themselves. Others are newer items that feel like they’re built the right way. No big theme. Just good gear, new and old.
