Gadgets
 

Let’s admit it; if you fly fish like we do, you love gadgets. All the boxes, zingers, and other assorted paraphernalia an angler loves to fuss with.

 
 
Bug Balmer $ 6.99
Dispatches and preserves insects for identification.
 
C&F Design Waterproof Box $ 39.99
4 rows of Micro Slit Foam on each side. Ideal for small flies and Stealhead flies. Slots for 108 flies. Water proof. Color : Black
 
Crab Shack Fly Box $ 22.00
Made just next door in Wyoming, this large-capacity fly box has blue pre-slit foam that really grips a hook without tearing. The outside of the box is indestructible too. Nice and big, and hard to tear up. Seems like a win-win situation to us.
 
Finsport Fly Keeper $ 14.99
Many of you picked these up at our store, and saw how superior they are to ordinary fly patches and fly traps. Get rid of those sheepskin patches! This is a combination foam patch/fly box with a flip-down velcro-closure lid and mesh sides.
 
Frog's Fanny $ 4.99
You have heard us rave about Frog's Fanny for years. We always keep one bottle on hand and a spare nearby at all times. Bring your dry flies back to life with Frog's Fanny. After a few fish (or bad drifts) many dry flies can get waterlogged.
 
Hat Eyes $ 24.99
For years Craig wore Flip Focals, until he found Hat Eyes. A more durable and adjustable stainless steel clip and 2.25 or 2.75 magnifications make these the clear choice. No Baetis or Midge hatch is safe from Mr. Mathews now.

Magnetic Net Holder $ 23.99
Naturally attractive, this should be your new net holder. Two strong, five pound pull magnets keep your net attached to your vest's D-ring when not in use, while a 30" stretch lanyard connects both net and vest when landing a fish.
 
C&F Design Waterproof Permit Box $ 49.99
Keep your small to medium saltwater flies organized and dry. This fly box from C&F Designs has a waterproof seal and is great for Merkins, large Turneffe Crabs, Palometa Crabs, small clousers, etc. There are four rows of microslit foam on each side.
 
Ruby Cell Fly Drier $ 17.99
For years we have extolled the virtues of amadou for drying soggy flies, as loyal readers know. But we have found something even better. It's a synthetic material (made for medical purposes, probably) that absorbs water incredibly fast and well.
 
Scientific Anglers Line Cleaning Pad $ 3.99
Many of the new self-lubricating lines do not require redressing. The Ultra IV is an example of this. However it is still important for an extended line llife to keep dirt and grime off the line at the end of a fishing trip.
 
Swift Current Thermometer $ 18.00
Few things are as important as water temperature when determining the timing and duration of insect hatches and fish feeding patterns. Here is a new, bombproof, laboratory grade thermometer from our buddies at Fishpond.
 
Tie Fast Tool $ 7.99
For years you've seen us use this fantastic nail-knot tier in the shop. This tool produces fast, simple, museum quality nail-knots every time. If you don't have one, you need one!
 
Ultrathon $ 7.38
Tested on the battlegrounds of Slough Creek and Turneffe Flats, this bug dope passed with flying colors. It was developed for the US military in Central America, and comes in a lotion for complete coverage.
 
Gore Tex Wader Repair Kit $ 4.99
It happens eventually, a small rip, tear, or hole will appear after bushwacking down to the river. Stay dry and keep fishing with this handy repair kit.
