Kyle and I have been throwing around the idea of getting a lot more fly tying here on the Duranglers’ blog. We have had a few installments, but are hoping to dive headfirst into the fly tying blog underworld this fall and winter. Until then, here are (in our opinion) the 5 Best Fly Tying Blogs…
Corqs Strike Indicators have become one of the more interesting products we are carrying this fall. Made out of cork, these indicators are a throwback to the old style cork bobber that many remember from their childhood. We here at Duranglers were skeptical at first…I mean it’s just another indicator right? And it is made of…
I recently had the opportunity to head out and shoot a short promo video with Jon of Left Coast Media for the soon to be available Ross Animas Reel 5/6. What better place to test this reel out than on the river for which it is named: The Animas. With its rough and tumble riffles…
