FLIP PALLOT

Flip Pallot is a long time friend, a mentor, and the reason I began fly fishing at the age of 15.  Since becoming friends, I've had the opportunity to shoot television shows, commercials, and product review spots with him.  We spend a lot of time on the water together, fishing and hunting.  A true legend, I feel blessed to be able to reach out to him for advice and some friendly conversation.  Click the link above to visit his personal web site and learn more about a True Outdoorsman!

Costa Del Mar Sunglasses

"See what's out there", their motto says it all.  Considered my hometown sunglass company, I have been a Costa supporter for decades.  This has led to a partnership that I am extremely proud of.  From their quality products to their dedication to conservation and restoration, there isn't a finer group on the planet.  They are a huge supporter of the "Kick Plastic" campaign and are always looking for ways to support local businesses and local causes.  If you are a serious angler, you should be wearing Costa; a lens for every condition and a frame for every face.  My personal lens choice: Sunrise Silver Mirror

Z-Man Fishing Products

I have used every time of soft plastic that I can think of, during my 30 plus years of fishing this area.  All throughout that time, I never found a product that would last, acted quite like I wanted, or offered more than one or two ways to rig it.  Well, that all changed last winter, when a friend and fellow guide introduced me to Z-Man Fishing Products.  Their soft plastics are AWESOME!  Long lasting, designed to offer a variety of rigging techniques, and each one has lifelike movement that many others don't have.  I was so impressed, that I gave away all of my others and went to nothing but this product.  From bass fishing to saltwater, they offer a great product that no one else compares to.

Umpqua Feather Merchants

Upmqua has been in the fly fishing business for a long time.  They offer a wide range of flies, fly tying supplies, leaders, tippet and gear.  I have been working with this company for more than 10 years and they commercially tie and offer my Sexy Slider fly.  It has been great working with a company that is as passionate about fly fishing as I am and offers quality merchandise and reasonable prices.

KG Custom Rods

Captain Kent Gibbens has been a friend for a long time.  Kent is a professional guide who also happens to be one of the finest rod builders I have known.  When I managed the fly shop, I sent all of the repair work I could to Kent, because he was better than the manufacturers.  I still send my personal rods to him for repair and all of my conventional gear is custom made by him, for me.  All I have to do is tell Kent what I need a rod to do and let his decades of experience go to work.  I have never been disappointed!  I guarantee you won't be either!
