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.

 
 
Black Diamond Orbit Lamp $ 29.99
This hands-free beacon of light features a 1-watt LED bulb with a dual reflector to maximize output. Complete with a dimming switch it packs down to 4"! We love it for de-rigging after hours or late-night fly-tying on the road.
 
BRF Glasses Cleaner $ 4.99
We never leave home without our sunglasses, but the inevitable smudges and grime can cloud our vision. Chums, the same company that keeps us from dropping our shades in the drink, has come up with a cleaning cloth for us.
 
BRF Knife $ 5.99
Stainless steel with one blade, cork srcew, scissors, Bottle opener, can opener and multi-use blade.
 
BRF iron on patch $ 2.50
You can iron this patch on to almost anything.
 
BRF Pin $ 2.99
You will definitely want to add this one to your collection!
 
Bug Balmer $ 6.99
Dispatches and preserves insects for identification.
 
Bugger Barn Fly Box $ 21.99
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.
 
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.
 
Meiho Deluxe Folding Boxes $ 14.99
Made From thick opaque polypropylene these boxes have great hatches and hinges, with well laid out compartments (11) with individual lids.
 
Dry Magic $ 10.99
Not sticky does not mat the fly and is non-toxic. This Fly floatant works well on all kinds of flies, especially for CDC patterns. This can applied not only to flies but also to leaders and lines.
 
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.
 
Ghost Net $ 99.00
We have finally found the fish-friendliest, lightest, and best net in the world. The frame is solid teak, and the net bag is clear so it disappears in water. Flies do not get stuck in the net bag, but fish do.
 
Guide Box $ 8.99
We have been previewing this box for a year in the shop and a few months in the email newsletter, so it is hard to say much without being redundant. We have found a keeper. This lightweight, indestructible clear box has 20 compartments that easily flip open.
 
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.

Hemocuts $ 14.99
We think the name says it all. This new William Joseph tool is a soft-handled, handy hemostat and scissor combo we are happy to have on board.
 
Improved Ion Head Lamp $ 19.99
We have liked this lamp since we met it, and now it is even smarter, lighter, and more dependable. One battery, two settings, and a million reasons to stash one in your pack.
 
Infrared Thermometer $ 39.00
Last summer more than ever, we stressed the importance of taking stream temperatures throughout the day. This is the coolest and most reliable gizmo we have found to do just that, because you simply point and shoot!
 
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.
 
Max 752 Scientific Anglers Fly BOX $ 31.99
The “Max 752" waterproof fly box can securely hold up to 752 flies with the 752 precision slit foam slots. These waterproof fly boxes are bomb-proof, light weight, and sized right to fit your fishing vest pockets. Other brands of similar boxes cost twice as much as these!
 
Morning Star Lanyard $ 29.99
We do not always agree on everything here at Blue Ribbon. We have had to agree to disagree on the virtues of packs, vests and lanyards. We do agree on the importance of quality, convenience, and comfort however, and this new lanyard offers all that and more.
 
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.
 
Reel Safe $ 9.99
Keep those reels protected!!
 
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.
 
Stix-n-Stonze 4way Stix $ 10.99
Last year Patrick discovered these camouflaged shot shaped like sticks and stones in organic, subtle colors. Since then we can not get enough of them. These natural looking weights come in a variety of sizes.
 
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.
 
Thingamabobber $ 5.00
For a couple years now our guides have been using small balloons as strike indicators, because they’re so sensitive and so buoyant (the balloons, not the guides). This design was inspired by guides who insist on the same elements of buoyancy & durability.
