RIO’s CamoLux line is an intermediate sinking line that sinks about one-and-a-half to two inches per second. The line is built with a unique clear camo coating that is extremely effective when targeting wary fish in clear water, and is deadly efficient for fishing between 2ft and 6ft depth in lakes. No matter if you’re fishing in shallow bays, close to shore, over weed beds, or in deeper water, the CamoLux allows anglers to be extremely effective and confident while on the water. Each line features a welded loop on the front end for fast rigging. click here

Gear Review: Orvis’ Tacky Deluxe Fly Box

Gear Guide

A more practical angler may argue that fly box is a fly box is a fly box, and there’s some truth in the statement. A fly box has a relatively simple task. That said, little innovations have the potential to make a huge difference. And in reference to the Tacky Deluxe Fly Box there’s much truth in that statement. This collaborative effort between Orvis and Tacky produced one of the best boxes on the market. The box has all that’s made the Tacky box a favourite for trout anglers: the no-fail magnetic latch system, the bombproof polycarbonate shell, and the silicone mats. But the Deluxe Box also has a few added features. The teardrop slats have room for 336 flies (#10-18). The box has a greater storage capacity now that there’s silicone mats on both sides of the interior of the box. Even with the added storage capacity, the box still has a low profile. (click here)
