Orivs Giant Fly Sale Viral Video

Orvis goes viral video on us and shows what happens when fly fishing legend Tom Rosenbauer doesn't quite get the memo. No word yet on what the price will be for that fly he ties for his boss...

Range to target..one ping only..

When I was a kid I heard stories (intended to be taken with a grain of salt) about German U-Boats that made their way up North Carolina Rivers...but imagine seeing this on your next brownline expedition.

Gear: Sanyo Waterproof Camcorder $349.95

Sanyo VPC-WH1 HD Waterproof Flash Memory Camcorder w/ 30x Optical Zoom (Yellow)

Unleash your inner carp bum and capture HD video of your next extreme fishing trip, all the while not worrying about getting the camera wet when you slip and fall on your hindquarters.

The price of these old school style HD units keeps going down making 720p (at least) affordable for the fly fishing masses. The yellow color makes for a nice beacon when it comes time to flag down the boys from Search and Rescue.

This happens a lot lately

If I pack a travel rod then there is no water in sight. Leave the rod home and what amounts to a brownline spring creek shows up outside my hotel window. If by chance you are wondering where in the world I am today. I'm in the town where Wayne and Garth's public access cable show aired. Party On!

Of course this song deserves its own posting.

Gear: Glacier Outdoor Combo Pack Demo Video

Here at FlyfishMagazine we have what the Editorial Trophy Wife some people have called an unnatural obsession with backpacks and pretty much any device that helps us schlep our gear around the country on our fishing expeditions. It is no wonder then that we were intrigued greatly when we got word of the new Combo Pack from Glacier Outdoor which incorporates some new features. From their Press Release:

The Combo Pack is a back pack with a universal chest pack attached for convenience and practicality. The Chest Pack has special straps that can be attached to any life-vest or any backpack. It can also be used alone when not attached to the Glacier Glove pack or any other backpack.

The Combo Unit Back Pack features a water resistant fleece lined pouch for glasses, ample storage, and bright interior lining for increased visibility. It also includes multiple fishing rod holders and comfortable form fitting straps. The Back Pack buckles to the Glacier Glove Chest Pack.

Check out this video product demo and you will understand why we think that Glacier Outdoor might be on to something with this combo pack.

The Combo Pack is available from the Glacier Outdoor website and retails for $149.99 or you can skip the back pack and buy just the chest pack for $59.99
