Fly Product...Vedavoo's Seam Sling

The one sling every angler should own – handbuilt for you.

Built with twice the capacity of our Tightlines Series slings… but for the angler who doesn't need something as big as our Beast all the time, this sling was designed to hit the SEAM between the extremes. Space to carry 8 Tacky Boxes, or 4 of the Cliff Super Days Worth size box, etc., the pack is versatile enough to carry a selection of almost any sized box. Connections for tools and tippet, three big pockets for gear, and a sleeve for a water bottle (or other refreshing beverage).

The pack anchors better to your back without need for a third strap, helping to keep your load balanced, out of the way, and within quick reach when you need it.

Available in all Vedavoo colors for $140-$150 depending on color, custom made in the Vedavoo workshop...Better American Gear.

Fly Products...2017 Fishpond Product Line

Via Pitchengine:

DENVER (July 11, 2016) – Well-respected fly fishing and outdoor brand Fishpond continues to break barriers in design and function with its 2017 product introductions. Debuting July 13-15 at the International Fly Tackle Dealer show in Orlando at booth 433, Fishpond will bring its new products to market in fall 2016. 

Creating products that keep up with adventurers on the water and during inclement weather, Fishpond designed the Thunderhead Submersible Duffels, available in two sizes, to withstand any environment around the world. The TPU welded 840 denier fabric and TIZIP submersible zipper ensure valuable gear stays dry and safe. Braided climbing rope handles on both sizes and tuck-away backpack straps on the large model easily carry a variety of loads. The signature welded bottom creates a sturdy platform to easily open and sort gear, and provides extra durability and a higher level of protection from abrasion. The smaller version is carry-on compatible, while the larger version can fit 9 foot, 4-piece fly rod tubes inside. At 2.6 and 4.2 pounds, respectively, the bags will be go-to options for kayakers, anglers and those who demand a waterproof and submersible carry system. MSRP: $299.95 and $399.95, respectively.

Another submersible bag is the new Castaway Roll Top Gear Bag, designed to fit in the hatches of most flats boats and to efficiently function on rafts and drift boats. The roll-top closure and TPU welded construction ensure camera gear, optics and fly gear stay dry. The removable, padded interior means the bag can pack flat in luggage, while the signature molded bottom provides structure without the padded interior. Ample accessory pockets make it supremely functional for hard-core river time. MSRP: $189.95

Fishpond’s Jackalope Rod Tube Case allows anglers to ditch rod tubes and carry up to six 9 foot, 4-piece rods in their socks for fishing adventures around the world. The molded and lockable zippered top and bottom allow easy loading and surround a lightweight, yet rigid, tube designed to protect rods and easily fit in carry-on compartments and many of fishpond’s larger luggage pieces. MSRP: $109.95

Another net joins the Nomad collection with the new Emerger Net. Its size has a slender opening with a slightly longer handle than the Hand Net to easily slide into fishpond packs’ net slots. The net will come in original and brown trout colors. Dimensions: 32 inches from handle butt to tip of hoop, hoop size 9.8 inches by 18.8 inches. MSRP: $149.95

A couple of accessories join the product introductions for 2017, including the Beavertail Fly Patch. The molded patch has high visibility foam and two-sided Velcro for multiple configuration options. MSRP: $12.95. The River Rat Beverage Holder is every river user’s dream beverage caddie. The EVA insulated side-walls keep beverages cold, and the YKK zippered top cap offers easy access and a snug fit. The sticky rubber molded bottom prevents sliding and the removable, adjustable webbing neck strap provides hands-free carrying. MSRP: $29.95   

Fishpond’s new FP collection of waxed cotton canvas inspires travel, adventure and a journey defined by a purposeful lifestyle. With five new pieces in the 11-piece collection, Fishpond thought of everything a traveler would need. Each piece has 16 ounce waxed cotton canvas exterior fabric and CYCLEPOND® recycled interior fabric. 

 

The Jagged Basin Duffel and Half Moon Weekender Bag are ideal for quick trips thanks to hidden backpack straps and carry-on compatibility. The duffel fits in in the back of a truck just as well as it does in the cargo-hold of an airplane. The weekender has three compartments for the utmost detail in organization. MSRP: $179.95 and $189.95, respectively.

The Horse Thief Tote is rugged and utilitarian thanks to its signature molded bottom to stand on its own and well-designed interior and exterior pockets. MSRP: $89.95

Both the Blizzard Soft Cooler and Ice Storm Soft Cooler have been redesigned for ultimate functionality. The Blizzard holds up to 18 beverage cans with a quick-access flap on the top. The Ice Storm is a larger cooler designed to hold plenty of food and drinks for days fishing, hunting, road tripping or camping. Both have multi-layer insulation to keep items cool for hours and exterior pockets for maps, cutting boards, utensils and other accessories. MSRP: $79.95 and $99.95, respectively. (Both coolers are also offered with CYCLEPOND recycled nylon in yucca for $10 less per style.)

UPDATE: Fishpond took home the Best in Show - Eco-Friendly Product at IFTD this year!

Kickstarter...The SmithFly Big Scioto Dry Pack

I was able to chat with Ethan up in Somerset this year for quite some time and this pack came up in the conversation. At that point he wasn't sure if he was going to do a Kickstarter because he wasn't sure if people were interested despite the lack of this type of product on the market. There were a few of us standing around and when he began to talk about the (now named) Big Scioto Dry Pack, we immediately got excited. Check this out...chances are, if you let this awesome Kickstarter price slide, you're going to be wishing you hadn't when someone downstream is wearing this awesomely green molle dry pack.

Keep your gear dry on the inside, keep other stuff handy mounted to the outside of this comfortable light weight back pack.

The Big Scioto Dry Pack is the world's first MOLLE compatible Roll Top Dry Pack. 

We've taken the concept of a comfortable light weight roll top dry back pack and added a laser cut MOLLE  panel to the back to allow you keep your fly tackle easily accessible. You don't need to access the dry compartment to get to your fly boxes, leaders or accessories. The inside stays dry and the stuff on the outside stays accessible! How about that.

To learn more and pledge towards this great Kickstarter, click here and be sure to give SmithFly a 'Like' and/or 'Follow' on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Fly Product...Vedavoo's River Quiver

I give you, the River Quiver. The best thing Vedavoo has put out since well, their last product. But I have to say, and I think anyone who saw it at Somerset this weekend would agree, it has to be one of the best products in their lineup.

It's half rod tube, half travel case. It can hold up to four 4-piece rods up to 9' (ideally 1-9wt +/- depending on make and model, taper, hardware used, etc), potentially up to 10'. It can be made in any color that Vedavoo offers as well as two-tone. It folds up like a burrito to be more minimal like a tube or fold flat to be stored easily (like in an overhead compartment of an airplane). The outer layer is made from "premium Volara grade foam, simply the best available". Every single piece of this product are made in the USA, from buckles to fabric and more.

The four 4-piece capacity gives the Quiver a great backbone of 16 fly rod pieces also giving it strength and durability in an almost self-protecting nature. Coming in at $200, it may be one of the better investments you make regarding fly fishing gear.

The River Quiver should be on the website shorty, stay tuned for updates here as well as on Vedavoo's Facebook Page.

Vedavoo's Reel Service 2015

One of my favorite projects to follow every year for the last few. Vedavoo does some amazing things for phenomenal organizations like PHWFF. Check it out and see if you want to grab a ticket to win some great gear from a GREAT U.S., hand-made company with work from the best artists in the industry. I've got my tickets, do you?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VEDAVOO LAUNCHES ANNUAL FUNDRAISER FOR PROJECT HEALING WATERS "Reel Service Project" to Raffle Hand Painted Packs and Gear with Proceeds for Vets

Partnering with many of the industry's best and brightest artists, Vedavoo hand built a series of packs, bags, and other gear to be hand-painted.  These one-of-a-kind pieces are part of an annual raffle, the proceeds of which, are being dedicated to Project Healing Waters and the veterans they serve. Support from the art community was outstanding, making this event truly special. Well-known artists Derek DeYoung, A.D. Maddox, Andrea Larko, Paul Puckett, Jeff Kennedy, Eric Hornung, Jonathan Marquardt, and Josh Udesen, and up-and-coming artists like Ty Hallock and Jared Nielson each donated their time for the cause.  Each was given a "canvas" with total artistic freedom.   True to form, each piece represents the best of what Vedavoo and the Artist have to give.  Other artists have shown interest in joining the program before the end of the raffle as well. Core pieces were unveiled at the IFTD show in Orlando this July, and were then sent to the American Museum of Fly Fishing for special exhibition. Each of the raffle prizes is displayed at http://www.vedavoo.com/product-category/reel-service/  - and tickets for the raffle can be purchased directly through the Vedavoo site.  They are being offered for $10 per ticket, 6 for $50, or 12 for $100 until the close of the event. Vedavoo hopes to raise $10,000 for PHWFF by year's end with the project.  All proceeds from the event will be donated. To Learn More - or to view these special pieces - please visit VEDAVOO.com.
