Loan fly fishing gear

September 30, 2014

I think there are several really important things that make up a truly great fishing lodge: the accommodations, the food, the staff, the location, the fishery, the fishing guides and the loan gear.

We all know what a hassle it is packing and traveling with fishing gear.

So we’ve taken the pain out of staying and fishing with us by providing you with the very best fly fishing gear on the market.

We have over 75 pairs of Simms wading boots; many are the latest Guide G3 and Vapor models. We stock them from size 4 through to 14.





Early season can be quite cool, so we’ve invested in the latest Simms Gore-Tex G3 waders.

All up, we have over 40 pairs of Simms Guide and G3 Guide men’s waders ranging from Small to XXL.

And we haven’t forgotten our female guests, with Simms Gore-Tex G3 Guide model waders for women in Small, Medium and Large.

And finally there’s our “Great Wall” of Sage rods and reels – we have over 20 Sage One, Method, Accel, VXP rods matched with Sage 5250 + 4650 reels in both 5 and 6 weight.
