SA Regulator Hemo -This season I've been using the SA Regulator Ergo Hemo and find them to be the perfect combo tool and truly ergonomic in design. The cutter works well for mono and fluoro tippet material and the flat jaws pinch barbs and remove hooks easily. Check out Courtney's review of these hemos.
Five stars! ★★★★★

| Rio Premier Glacial Gold Floating Fly Line - In the winter on the Bow I'm partial to fishing my two-hand rods, but occasionally the day calls for single-hand fishing and for that I really like the Rio Glacial Gold Line. The PolarFlex coating technology keeps the line supple in conditions that would cause coiling on most freshwater trout lines, so the cold weather casting is a lot more enjoyable. |  |
The Patagonia Women's Tropic Comfort Natural Shirt that I picked up this spring has become my go-to sun shirt on the water as well as a comfortable, every day option in the shop or in a casual setting. It's very soft in hand, super stretchy, the fit is well designed, and I really like the built in face cover with drawstring toggle, as this minimizes bulk around my neck when layered with other garments. All of these things are great, but the best thing about it is the natural material it's made of - Modal. Essentially, beech tree pulp! Who knew we could have a high performance sun shirt this comfortable, made from beech tree pulp? It reminds me of the feel of some of the bamboo fabrics on the market, but with proven technical performance. It is heavier overall than other UPF options, but I don't mind that as it is not at all transparent and this doesn't make it too warm or at all uncomfortable. I'll definitely be looking for another one when next season's colors come out.
