A great day on the water and a great taste of the fishing season ahead.

This jacket is simply the best of the best. Anglers love it. Guides depend on it.

It's what we're thinking about the whole rest of the year: the leaves turning a nip in the air perfect water levels fish coloring up for spawn and day after day of big beautiful fish on the line.

We don't mind loading on the layers and braving the cold in the name of fishing but we can't tell a lie. We have been enjoying the heck out of the mild temperatures of late.

There's been no slow-down in good fishing during this winter season. Even as temperatures have dropped the fish have continued to bite.
