Finding discount fly fishing gear can save you a great deal of money. Being a fly fisher I know that fly fishing equipment can be pretty expensive depending on what you’re looking for and where you shop. However there are some places online that offer great discounts at bargain prices on name brand fly fishing equipment. Some of these companies are well known and have been selling fly fishing gear and other outdoor gear for years.

So why do some of these companies offer discounts on fly fishing gear? There is a couple of answers to this question. Sometimes it’s to reduce built up inventory of a particular model or brand name, to make room for next years new fishing gear. Or, they will offer a beginning of the season or end of the season sale on fly fishing equipment.

There are many sites online that offer great discounts on fly line, waders, fishing vests, fly rod and reels, float tubes and other fly fishing accessories.

There are online outlet stores that just specialize in liquidating all kinds of fishing gear and other brand name outdoor gear. They are constantly purchasing name brand overstock and closeout fishing gear and discounting it anywhere from 30% to 50%. This is where the best discounts on fly fishing gear are usually found. The only draw back with online outlet companies is that their inventory changes regularly.

You can find some excellent discounts on name brand gear like Simm, Sage, Cortland, Patagonia, Redington, Scientific Angler, Orvis and many other well known name brand fly fishing equipment manufacturers.

In Summary: Before you purchase any new fly fishing equipment take some time to shop online and look for those special discounts which will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Having a new sport or hobby is sure to fire up your buying impulses.  However, before you run out to the local fly fishing gear store, there are a few things to consider.  Since fly fishing entails a lot of time standing right in the water where you are going to fish, wearing your good old dependable jeans won’t cut it and neither will an ordinary rod and reel.  The typical fishing pole won’t allow you to equip the fly used in fly fishing so, choosing the right one is essential.  A trip to the local hobby shop will allow you to purchase the correct fly fishing gear that will guarantee you fun and enjoyable excursions.

Vests and Waders

One of the most essential fly fishing gear is the vest and waders.  There are waders which come with boots and there are waders which some call “stocking feet”, meaning, you will have to purchase your boots separately.  You have to remember that your waders have to be roomy enough to have space for thermal underway or extra socks during the cold weather.  They have to be comfortable and have room for you to move around so make sure that they are big enough.  Your vest or jacket also has to be comfortable enough for any weather condition.  The best vests have zip out liners which you can adjust according to weather.  Your get up is as important as any other part of your fly fishing gear because if you are too hot or too cold then chances are fly fishing won’t be fun and enjoyable for you.

A Fly-Fishing Rod

Probably the most important fly fishing gear is your rod.  The right rod is crucial and some models do not have reels attached to them.  This is because some anglers prefer to change rods depending on water conditions and the size of the lake or stream they are fishing in.  You can also buy a separate rod without reels and a separate reel and save yourself some cash.  However, think of your rod as an investment and the most important piece of fly fishing gear you will need and get yourself a sturdy one.   A good rod will enable you to enjoy your fly fishing hobby for years to come,

A Net to Finish of Reeling in Your Catch

A net is also vital when it comes to your fly fishing gear.  A net is essential when there are only a few feet left when reeling in your catch; this is where anglers commonly lose a fish.  When the line is slack you will need to get that fish in the net as soon as possible lest the line snap or the fish yank out the hook from the line.  Nets included in a fly fishing gear are usually smaller than your typical net.  This is because fly fishermen like to keep them attached to their vest or waders with a D-clip or hook.  Newer models of nets have magnets which you can easily snap in place and have them handy whenever you need it. 

When shopping for your fly fishing gear, take your time, ask the retail assistant, ask your friends, and you will make the right decision. 

Happy Fishing,

Ice fishing can be a lot of fun, but there are many things to consider when ice fishing that you may not be used having to think about. As with any type of fishing, ice fishing requires good ice fishing gear to make the most out of your techniques and skills, but it also requires special consideration for the environment and the cold. These considerations relate both to your success fishing, as well as your safety.


If you are going to spend a short day ice fishing do not assume that you can bring next to nothing and be successful and safe. Your rod should have large guides, a sensitive tip and a pretty stiff overall feel. The preferred reel is a micro-spinning reel. Your line should be no less than four pounds and no more than eight pounds and should be specially designed for ice fishing. Crappie minnows, fatheads, and wax worms all work well as bait. Bring a variety so that you can change the bait out if it does not seem to be working. You should also bring some picture identification, your fishing license, hand warmers, a assortment of pliers, a compass, line cutters, a small shovel, and if possible ice picks as well.


If you are fishing with other people you should determine ahead of time what everyone will be bringing. If someone else is already bringing a piece of ice fishing gear that the group will not need multiples of, you can save space and weight by not bringing it yourself. You also want to be sure that important items are not left behind because everyone assumed the other members of the group would have them. Anything can happen while ice fishing, so you should be over prepared rather than under prepared.


If you are going to be spending a lot of time on the ice you may want to bring some more serious gear to make sure you are safe and successful. A fish finder can be a huge help. For safety and comfort an ice shelter, heater, and spud bar are very important. A spud bar allows you to check the thickness of the ice. Ice cleats can also help you remain sure-footed and safe while moving around on the ice. A cell-phone and GPS unit can also help you in an emergency and are better than a compass.


Try to add as many odds and ends to your ice fishing gear list as you feel you will need. Extra gloves, matches, food, and drinks can make you and your group more comfortable and help pass the time faster. Also, sunglasses can be important. While many people would not think sunglasses are needed while ice fishing, the sun can reflect off of the ice and cause eye damage or discomfort. Sun glasses can not only make you for comfortable, but protect you from permanent eye damage as well.
