Scott Fly Rods
www.scottflyrods.com
I support Scott Fly Rods for two reasons. They build the highest quality fly rods in the industry and they are designed and constructed 100% in the United States. There isn’t anything more to say. May favorite rod lines are the S4 and G2 series. I choose the S4 907 for throwing big streamers for trophy trout and it's perfect for bass fishing on the lake. My other rod line of choice is the G2 series in the 885 & 886 for my dry and nymph fishing. The rods action makes it easy to feel the rod loading and in turn, makes it easier for me to improve my clients casting.
Waterworks – Lamson
www.waterworks-lamson.com
I’ve been using Lamson reels for years now and I’ve truly put them to
the test. Lamson’s sealed conical drag is ultra smooth and it’s
contributed to many trophies landed. You won’t find a better built
reel for your money. Small tippet is of no concern to me when I have a
Lamson reel in the mix.
Frog Hair

There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. I exclusively rig my dry fly droppers and tandem nymph rigs with Frog Hair’s fluorocarbon tippet because it’s the strongest most abrasion resistant tippet available. This genetically altered line is down right amazing. Look no further, Frog Hair tippets and leaders are a step above the competition.

Scientific Anglers

I’ve spooled Scientific Anglers fly lines on my reels for over 15 years. Over the course of my career I’ve experimented with other brands but nothing has performed as well, maintained its durability and resisted tangling better than Scientific Anglers fly lines. Check out the new Sharkskin line. You won’t believe how easy it is to shoot and mend your line.
Cloudveil
www.cloudveilfishing.com
Located in Jackson Hole, WY Cloudveil has sprung to the forefront of the outdoor apparel industry these last few years with the introduction of their fly fishing department. All of their products have been designed and tested by true outdoor professionals. I can honestly say Cloudveil is my first choice when it comes to conquering brutal weather conditions on the water. It keeps you warm, dry and fishing.
Korkers
www.korkers.com
Korkers adventure footwear has catipulted to the top of the competition by providing outdoor enthusiasts the most functional and innovative footwear available. I exclusively use Korkers wading boots for my fishing guide service. The interchangable OmniTrax system ensures my clients steady footing and the low-cost replacement soles save me money every year. Instead of spending upwards of one hundred dollars to replace a wading boot I just spend twenty dollars for a replacement sole. I personally wear the Korkers Guide Boot which incorporates a stainless steel lace and reel system. Thanks to Korkers I no longer waist time lacing up during my fishing day and I've forgotten what it's like to have my fly line tangled around my shoe laces. Check out their website and see for yourself why serious anglers are choosing Korkers.
William Joseph

William Joseph’s technical gear has complimented me very well on the water. I can’t brag enough about the Confluence chest pack. It keeps me organized, has convenient retractors for my tools and has the capability to hold enough gear for my hike-in fly fishing adventures. Check out their new magnet series packs. Also I like the William & Joseph stripping basket. My clients use it for float trips and I recommend it for anyone with a personal watercraft.
Gamakatsu
www.gamakatsu.com
Don’t pinch pennies when it comes down to choosing the most important piece of equipment that secures you to the fish. Gamakatsu hooks are chemically sharpened and constructed of the highest grade steel. If your serious about chasing the big boys make sure you’re rigged with Gamakatusu hooks.
Daiwa
www.daiwa.com
Daiwa is a leader in the bass fishing industry because it consistently produces top of the line gear for the serious bass angler. My favorite product line is the SOL baitcasting and spinning reels. You won’t believe the craftsmanship and the ultra smooth performance.
Berkley
www.berkley-fishing.com
Look at any given tournament bass fisherman and if they’re ranked at the top chances are they have a working relationship with Berkley. I really like Berkley because they produce biodegradeable soft plastics with an infused gulp scent. Equally appealing to me is their wide selection of fishing line. Look in my boat and you’ll find plenty of Berkley products.
