Gear: reel pure Edition

Today the mailman brought a package from a brand I have known since the early days of the fly fishing blogger community.  I have always liked the simple logo and, even though it's well over a decade old, my  reel pure hat is still one that I regularly grab when I fish or just want to look like a fly guy. 

Check out their website reelpure.com.   Offerings are limited for the moment (bald guys like me can't do visors) but we have it on good authority that there is more to come in the near future.

Gear: Stealthy Shirts from Aqua Design

Weather they fish mountain streams or bonefish flats the serious angler will tell you that bright colored fishing clothes are great for photos in magazines but don't do very well when it comes to catch rates. Fish look up for predators and if they can make out your form against the sky they probably won't bite. That is why I like these camo fishing shirts from Aqua Design.

Solid colors are a problem if you want to be stealthy. To blend into nature, multi-colored patterns are always superior to a solid shade. That's why Aqua Design is the perfect solution for anglers that want to be camouflaged. Our one-of-a-kind underwater prints are actual photos taken from the fish's perspective. We call it "water on fabric." Get closer to those smart fish with stealthy camo.

Quest Fishing Shirt features a water-inspired pattern available in five natural color options and printed on 100% microfiber fabric. This material is fast-drying, wicks moisture from the skin and is extremely comfortable. Three chest bellows pockets hold small fly and tackle boxes, extra leaders and line, sunglasses, or a cellular phone. Double-stitched construction.

Available in colors from Sky Blue to Overcast from Aqua Design - MSRP $49.95
