Dan Bailey's 909XTH Guide Model Breathable Waders - Click to Purchase

The newest wader in the Dan Bailey arsenal is the Breathable 909 XTH's. All I can say is "Awesome". These Breathables are just shy of bulletproof with a double layered lower, reinforced posterior, reinforced knees and tightly stitched seams. Some great features include a fleece handwarmer/chest pocket, Built in adjustable gravel guards and highly durable side straps.  I have had mine now for about 1 year and have not had one single qualm with them. The built in adjustable gravel guards are far superior to the removable ones in that they allow virtually no admittance of sand or gravel into the boot.
 
When purchasing a pair of breathable waders one should look into several different aspects: Breathability, Durability, Comfort and Warranty. The XTH, in my opinion, deserves high marks in each of these categories. Excellent Breathability, Unmatched Durability, as Comfortable as they come and  Dan Bailey offers a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee - For the few waders that have come back to us Dan Bailey has been more than willing to replace them promptly.

Renzetti Cam Traveler Fly Tying Vise - Click to Purchase


The best all-around vise I have used to date has to be the Renzetti Cam Traveler with a C-Clamp. Not only does it truly rotate for easy wrapping it comes with an infinitely adjustable jaw to fit any hook out on the market. Compared to turn knobs to adjust the jaw width the Cam system quickly conforms to the hook size you are tying on greatly increasing your fly tying efficiency. I would also recommend purchasing the C-Clamp because it comes in handy on fly fishing trips. I have clamped mine onto steering wheels, stumps, rocks and even tree branches to whip out river specific patterns during those "there's a hatch and I don't have anymore of this fly" times or "those Drakes are gray not green and the fish know it" times. I've found that switching from a turn knob to a Cam system saves time so I really can sit down for an hour and tie up a couple dozen flies where in the past I had to fumble around adjusting the jaw.

Chota STL Plus Wading Boots - Click to Purchase


The STL Plus, in my opinion, is by far the best valued wading boot on the market. Highly durable polypropylene felt soles and replaceable screw-in cleats make for sure-footed wading. These boots are lightweight, durable and offer unbelievable ankle support. As aesthetics go in the Fly Fishing world these are some of the sharpest looking boots I have ever seen, so even if you don't Fly Fish as well as you'd like to, you'll look like you can.  We  guarantee your satisfaction with this product, I've had mine for four seasons and they're still kickin'.

Browning Midas Travel Fly Rod - Click to Purchase



The Browning Midas Travel Rod is a wonderful pack rod at an inexpensive price. It is a 96% Graphite rod that fishes with a medium action feel. The 7'6 4/5wt provides accessibility to those 'hard to reach areas' and on small creeks and rivers. It is a MUST HAVE on backpacking trips, say to Slough Creek or into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, where short dry fly casts are necessary or sage brush is plentiful.
