Can’t lie.

We all need a new fly rod! What are you picking up?

Trends occur with fly fishing just as with fashion, home décor and music. What’s popular one year becomes unpopular the next, then makes a comeback years later. And this cycle continues again and again. I remember in the 1990’s when indicator fishing was all the rage and I was told by countless...
