This lightweight, packable jacket from Orvis is a great piece for spring fishing. The patented Orvis Dry Cuff® will keep out water and won’t catch your line. Plus, the simple design is more than adequate for holding crucial gear and a little more. Two large pockets, two D-rings, an integrated fly patch coupled with the ability to pack this sucker down into your vest pocket make it an ideal piece for the coming spring.
When casting a fly line, slickness is often the name of the game, with dirt, grime, sand and sunscreen all conspiring to slow down your line. Rio Products is hoping their new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology will help offset these factors and keep your line flying through the guides when necessary.
The big difference with Rio’s new XT material is that the PVC coating is applied prior to curing, not after, so the “slickness factor” goes right down to the core and isn’t just a coating that can wear off or be rubbed off.
The new technology will be used in Rio’s full line of premier freshwater and saltwater lines.

RIO Products introduces RIO Gold
IDAHO FALLS,Idaho. RIO Products proudly announces the introduction of a brand new trout line, for the ultimate in all round performance.
The new RIO Gold fly line has a revolutionary design that provides incredible loop stability for long casts, a unique profile that loads the rod at close range and a positive front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies. The long back taper makes mending and roll casting, or single hand spey casting easy, and stabilizes the line at a range of distances.
The RIO Gold line incorporates the new Extreme Slickness Technology for an extraordinarily slick, dirt-repelling coating that results in increased distance in casts.

Here at FlyFish.com Headquarters, we receive quite a few products to review, and are swamped with mail from every so called “Must see” fly fishing destination. Most are rustic shacks on overfished and overpriced streams or some impossible to get to place which 99% of the most hard core fly anglers will never be able to visit.
So when we recently received a box from New Zealand’s Intriped Angler, we assumed this was just another over hyped, low grade production. Wrong.
Intrepid Angler self describes their new New Book/DVD/CD “Destination TroutNew Zealand” as “A revolutionary multi-media concept for flyfishers and travellers alike that sets a new standard for the ultimate angling experience.”

Well, we have to admit it. When we received the Thule Cast Away roof mounted rod carrier we weren’t thinking HOT! product winner. For starters, the official FlyFsh.com vehicle, a classic Toyota Land Cruiser, has had a Thule Flat Top Rack mount system for 7 years. Originally designed to carry Skis, we’d adopted it as a terrific fly rod carrier with two soft arms that gently clamp on to the rods and hold them secure in all types of off road turbulence.
Anyway, we stuck the Cast Away next to the ski rack. Installation was simple even with the tall roof. Merely a few twists of the hand screws and we were ready to roll in minutes.
