THE ONE AND ONLY – BUFF!
Sometimes, we wonder how we managed to go fly fishing before Buffs were available. Today, we wouldn’t be without them, and we use Buffs to protect us against both a blazing sun and a chilly breeze - even nasty bugs. The traditional Buff is a lifesaver during cold days on the river, while the silky High UV Coolmax models are a blessing in the salt. With several hundreds of different Buffs on the market, you might even find a Buff to improve your looks.
SIMMS G JACKETS
Even though you’ll probably experience beautiful sunny and cloudless days, it is pretty rare to come across a really warm week in Greenland, BC or Chile. You need a good wading jacket to keep you warm and dry. Simms have developed and fine-tuned their guide models through a long period of years, and today we won’t leave home without our sturdy and highly breathable G3 and G4 jackets. They offer all the comfort and pockets you need.
SIMMS G WADERS
Weather changes and streams run high and low. Since we spend most freshwater days in our waders – it comes as no surprise that we like the best there is. The Simms G3 and G4 are guaranteed to keep you comfortable when walking and fishing hard and they come in so many sizes that there’s a perfect fit for everyone. Go for the Zipper version if you can afford it – besides the obvious male benefit you will enjoy the extra ventilation after a long walk.
SCOTT RADIAN DH
Most of our spey fishing belongs in the heavyweight league. Not necessarily in terms of the need for the biggest of fly rods – but definitely when it comes to handling powerful fish and large flies. The Scott Radian are light and very fast two-handed rods, and though mainly designed for Scandi-style spey casting, these rods will stand the abuse of heavy Skagit lines, sinking tips and weighted flies. Genuine power tools!
