TU River Topo Beanie

($25; tu.org/gear2023)

Warmth and all-day comfort are a must with any layering during the cold seasons. The allnew TU River Topo Beanie from our friends at Wingo Outdoors gets the job done. This rugged beanie features an exclusive River Topo design with matte black topography and deep blue river, as well as a TU patch. It’s durable, soft and cuffed for total warmth. There isn’t a more fishy, more conservation-minded lid on the market anywhere. —Zack Dingus

TU-Vedavoo Trout Tote Bag

($40; tu.org/gear2023)

The all-new TU-Vedavoo Trout Tote Bag features durable and lightweight PVCbacked poly fabric construction, a tapered opening to maintain balance, a convenient internal pocket for storage, an innovative side seaming and comfortable webbing handles and straps. We put this bag through the ringer. We transported fishing gear to and from the water and in the rain, stashed gear on a boat, hauled kindling and firewood for a bonfire and carried snacks and essentials for a camping trip. It’s American-made and awesome. —ZD

Flymen Tie-And-Try Fly Collection & Loon Outdoors Ergo Prime Scissors

($44; tu.org/gear2023)

I’m by no means an expert fly tyer or angler, but the all-new Flymen Tie-and-Try Fly Collection is great for beginners or experts… and everyone in between. It includes four versatile, finished flies for fall and winter fishing: two Nymph-Head Heavy Metal tungsten prince nymphs and two bead-head woolly buggers… AND tying materials to tie two more Nymph-Head prince nymphs. It comes with super easy-to-follow written and video how-to instructions… and a handy pair of Loon Outdoors Ergo Prime scissors. You’ll have some productive flies for the fall and winter… and some materials and scissors to keep you busy when the cold weather doesn’t cooperate. —ZD
