| 3/18/2007 | Simms G4 Waders | Ok, what else can I say but "the best wader ever made".. At $699, this wader may not be for everyone.. However, it is for the serious angler with the resources to justify it.. I have already ordered mine.... |
3/18/2007 | Brodin Ghost Net | We have the new Brodin "Ghost Net" in...
Built on the Gallatin frame and sporting a clear urethane bag, this is the best "fish-friendly" net made yet.. |
3/18/2007 | Simms G3 Boot | We have the new Simms G3 boot in..
The FINEST wading boot ever made bar none - end of story!
Built like a $200 hiking boot or backcountry ski boot, Simms has taken wading footware to the next level.. |
3/18/2007 | Winston BIIt | We have the new Winston BIIt in..
The obvious heir to the WT market, this slower "BIIx" is arguably the best true dryfly rod on the market.. |
3/18/2007 | New Korkers Boots | We have the new Korkers boots in.. With a completely redigned interchangeable sole system, new uppers, and 3 models from $79 to $159, these are the only option for the angler looking for a multiple sole boot.. No one has ever done it better! |
3/18/2007 | Sage Z-Axis | We have the new Sage Z-Axis rods.. The replacement for teh ever popular XP; this reel is better than we could have imagined (and that was a tough act to follow) |
3/18/2007 | Ross Worldwide Reels | We have the new Ross Worldwide reels.. 3 cast aluminum mid-arbor reels at less than $100..
Another "best in class" from the folks from Montrose CO! |
3/18/2007 | Ross Momentum Reels | we have the new Ross Momentum "big game" reels..
Another "best in class" for Ross and the best big game reel you can buy short of a Tibor.. |

Products | Just
in, our first foray into the world of "Tube Flies"! We now stock two
"Tube Fly Tools" (Starter and Premium) and "Assorted" tube
stock from HMH. Maybe this would make a good idea for a class next fall? |
| 1/30/03 | Radio
Spot | I
was a phone-in guest on a nationally broadcast outdoors radio show last night
out of Chicago (they found me on the web) The show "Mike Jackson Outdoors"
was pretty funny and I was forced to defend my position on invasive smallies (see
my "Guiding/Trip Options" page which they had read in advance) to a
bunch of bass fisherman (I asked them how they would like it if I came up and
started dumping carp into their bass water - a real problem in the midwest!) Next
he asked me why "Mainers" don't like people from away? I told him I
was a "Flatlander" myself and referred him to my "From Away"
page which he read on the air. All in all, they were a good bunch of guys just
havin' some fun with us yankees.. His website is www.mikejacksonoutdoors.com |
| 1/25/03 | New
Product | Just
in, the Korkers "convertible" wading boot. This boot features an interchangeable

for wading…) soles. Also available, you can purchase rubber with carbide-tipped
studs (winter) and studded felt soles (general wading). |

Forum | For
those who did not notice, we have added a "Forum" to our website. The
intention is to provide a sounding board for technical questions as well as to
answer questions pertaining to our local watersheds. |
| 1/10/03 | New

have recently formed a Trout Unlimited (TU) chapter based in Skowhegan and extending
north to Jackman. The name of the new chapter is "Somerset Chapter of TU"
and officers have already been selected. If you are interested in joining (or
sponsoring) this group, please contact the shop by phone or email. |
| 1/10/03 | Magazine
Spot | Shop
owner Bob Mallard has an article ("Tis the Season") in the newly released
winter edition of Fly Fishing New England. The article is about the new tackle
and price reductions associated with existing tackle introduced for the 2003 season.
Give it a look! |
| 1/10/03/03 | Price/Info
Update | The
price noted in a prior post about the new Redington "Red.Fly2" reel
was incorrect. The correct price is $49.95. In addition, the reel is "injection
molded" aluminum as opposed to machined - Sorry, but we reacted to inaccurate
pre-release info. |
