Hardy Averon - Press Release

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hardy Averon – Perfection in the Form of a Freshwater Fly Reel Ultra-lightweight reel utilizing Hardy's proven multi-pad disc drag system

COLUMBIA, S.C. (July 10, 2024) - For over 150 years, Hardy has remained the top brand for fly anglers who demand nothing but the best in fishing gear. Known for its unmatched craftsmanship and innovation, Hardy continues to set the standard for meticulously crafted fly gear with the introduction of the Hardy Averon. This reel, which is the core of the Hardy freshwater performance reel range, is an ultra-lightweight disc drag fly reel that delivers the quality and reliability that are the hallmarks of the Hardy brand. Available in half-frame and full-cage models, this new reel offers exceptional performance and versatility for freshwater anglers. The Hardy Averon reel replaces the Hardy Ultradisc fly reel with updated and improved features that set the standard for performance freshwater fly reels. The more durable frame is designed to carefully blend performance, balance, and fishability. This large arbor reel features an open, half-frame design on all models but two – allowing for weight reduction and easy spool changes when different line sizes are required. For specialty applications utilizing thin lines, a closed frame design can be found in the 5000 EN (Euro Nymphing) and 9000 size models where a full-cage is employed for ultra-long leaders, Euro Nymphing, and Spey fishing.   The full cage Euro Nymph model features an interchangeable weight system that allows the angler the ability to fine-tune the rod’s in-hand balance. The 5000EN model also employs a larger arbor than the standard 5000 size – requiring less backing for thin lines and reducing line coils. The 5000EN and standard 5000 size spools are interchangeable and sold separately, allowing anglers to mix and match for their ideal setup.   The Averon has a buttery smooth drag featuring a large and easy-to-adjust drag knob that provides definitive clicks between settings. The drag system is unregulated allowing for fine adjustments, yet the 2.5 turn knob provides quick adjustments. With very low startup inertia, this reel delivers incredible fish-stopping power at a weight that feels balanced in hand.   The Hardy Averon comes in two colors – titanium with gold accents and black with gunmetal accents (varies by size). HARDY AVERON KEY FEATURES Lightweight high-performance disc drag Open frame design (except 9000 & Euro models) Silky smooth, enclosed multi pad disc drag system 2.5 turn indexed drag for quick & precise drag adjustments Ultra-low start up inertia  MODELS: HREAVER30TI • HREAVER50TI • HREAVER70TI • HREAVER90TI • HREAVER30BK • HREAVER50BK • HREAVER70BK MSRP: $395.00 - $450.00 AVAILABLE: August 2024   HARDY EURO AVERON KEY FEATURES Super large arbor, narrow spool design Full cage frame Reduced frame tolerances to reduce line escape Supplied with 3-optional balance weights | 0.6oz • 1.2oz • 1.8oz Optimized for ‘in-hand’ balance MODEL: HRAVER50EN MSRP: $395.00 AVAILABLE: August 2024   For more information about Hardy products, visit www.HardyFishing.com.

MCFF Tying Meeting -- 17 June 2024

 At tonight's MCFF Tying Meeting, the club's own Bob Dillon once again led the tyers with some variations on the classic Gartside Gurgler! Tying in bucktail, palmering hackel and working with foam are some of the foundation skills that are always good to practice! The MCFF Tying Meeting is the third Monday of every month, and, as always, all are welcome. I'll be glad to save you a seat!

MCFF Meeting -- 10 June 2024

 

After watching a Flip Pallot video showing his modernized knotted leader construction, MCFF club secretary Capt. Frank Brownell ran us through a close-up demonstration of the process! The technique features a snelling-type constrictor knot, a modified step ratio that's a huge departure from the classics and a much longer overall length to improve your chances with today's more shy gamefish. Mid-Coast Fly Fishers meets the second and third Monday of every month, and as always, all are welcome! I'll be glad to save you a seat!

St. Croix Technica Series

 

View this email in your browser HAPPY HEADHUNTING St. Croix Fly announces availability of all-new TECHNICA Series premium fly rods   PARK FALLS, Wis. (May 30, 2024) – If you spend enough time chasing hatches on technical trout fisheries where 5X is maximum, 6X is the norm, and 7X lives in your pack because some days that’s the difference between looks and eats, you begin to realize the deck is stacked. Persnickety fish eating micro-morsels in the film have their inherent challenges, but add in complex currents, leader-defeating winds, and impossible hook sets at distance, and having the right tool for the job becomes mission critical.   “After talking with a bunch of dedicated trout guides about the challenges of dry fly fishing with clients, a common issue emerged,” says St. Croix Fly Brand Manager, Tom Larimer. “What we heard from the Deschutes to the Delaware, is that traditional deep-flexing dry-fly rods are fine for parking lots and calm days, but when the wind ramps up and you’re trying to get a long leader to turn over, they fall short. These conversations led to a unique action specifically tuned for technical trout fishing.” INTRODUCING TECHNICA   The new TECHNICA Series answers the call of PhD-level trout fishing. Its responsive, moderate action paired with an advanced carbon fiber matrix and exclusive MITO® Graphene technology delivers exceptional line speed, endless loop stability, and absolute accuracy.   “The best way to describe TECHNICA’s action is balanced,” says Larimer. Simply put, a softer lower-end and mid-section stores energy and produces a smooth-loading, soulful in-hand feel while helping the caster make efficient mends and protect light tippets and small flies. Higher up on the second and tip sections, the taper maintains the perfect amount of stiffness for picking up long lengths of line when recasting, sniper hook sets on long, downstream dry fly feeds, and fast tip recovery for turning over long leaders in the wind.”   But there’s a deeper layer to the story of TECHNICA’s action: Functionalized MITO Graphene.   “We learned a lot about the rod-performance attributes of MITO Graphene with the three-year development of EVOS, released last year,” Larimer says. “So, when we began the job of designing TECHNICA, we knew we could bend the rules of traditional moderate-action design.”   When viewed on a deflection board, TECHNICA appears to be a very soft rod. But MITO Graphene greatly impacts how the rod casts. “The addition of functionalized graphene to our established SCVI, SCIV, and SCII carbon fiber matrix increases rod recovery by 20%,” Larimer says. “The benefit is an incredibly stable loop with maximum line speed, while the overall result is a blank that possesses all the feel, finesse, and tippet protection of a moderate-flexing rod, with the speed and power of a medium-fast action.”   A TECHNICAL LIGHT-LINE PACKAGE   Outside of refined blank performance, TECHNICA incorporates numerous design aspects inspired by the environment and demands of technical trout fishing.   PAINTED FOR PRESENTATION: Baetis Back Green matte paint reduces rod glare and ensures a stealthy approach to wary trout.   LIGHT + DURABLE GUIDE TRAIN: Single-foot RECOIL guides paired with CERECOIL stripper guides are ultra-light and durable, which is ideal for sliding in and out of rod vaults or boat storage.   INTUITIVE GRIP DESIGN: With accuracy being critical for success in the dry-fly game, the snub-nose grip promotes a forward-hand position, helping the angler cast with increased precision.   TECHNOLOGY MEETS SOUL: While TECHNICA may be the most technologically advanced dry-fly rod on the market, the rod’s aesthetics speak to the slow, methodical approach of chasing hatches on technical trout water. The chassis is packed with new-school tech, but we couldn’t resist giving TECHNICA some old-school appointments of class. TECHNICA TECHNOLOGY SUITE   Advanced materials matrix consisting of ultra-high-modulus/high-strain SCVI carbon, high-modulus SCIV carbon, and premium-quality SCII carbon Mito Graphene unlocks the power of hybrid polymer materials and delivers radical hoop strength, optimized loop stability, and absolute accuracy Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) mandrel tooling provides improved energy transfer, increased strength, and mega-efficient rod recovery Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) adds a magnitude of 10X strength with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight Fortified Resin System (FRS) boosts blank strength by 33% over standard resins and curing methods Reinforced Slim Profile Ferrule (SPF) design adds herculean strength with minimal added weight      TECHNICA FEATURES   RECOIL single-foot guides CERECOIL stripper guides Hook keeper Snub-nose flor-grade cork handle Uplocking, machined-aluminum reel seat with tiger maple insert Aluminum rod tube with rod sock 15-year transferable warranty Designed and precision crafted in Park Falls, WI     TECHNICA MODELS   TE590-4 / 5-weight, 9’0”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975 TE586-4 / 5-weight, 8’6”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975 TE489-4 / 4-weight, 8’9”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975 TE480-4 / 4-weight, 8’0”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975 TE389-4 / 3-weight, 8’9”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975 TE379-4 / 3-weight, 7’9”, 4-piece, moderate action / MSRP: $975   Designed and precision crafted in Park Falls Wisconsin, USA with levels of pride and passion that match your own, St. Croix TECHNICA Series rods are conceived and delivered to give anglers the upper hand in the trickiest of trout-fishing situations.   New TECHNICA Series fly rods will be available to anglers at St. Croix Fly Pro Shops and online at stcroixfly.com beginning May 31.   Members of the angling trade and media can see and cast TECHNICA at ICAST 2024.

Whitewater Fishing Lightweight Tech Hoodie Collection -- Press Release 20 May 2024

Expansion by Popular Demand




Whitewater Fishing adds new neutral color to its surging Lightweight Tech Hoodie collection.




MUSKEGON, Mich. (March 20, 2024) – Lightweight performance fishing shirts provide comfortable and versatile protection from the sun’s harmful rays while wicking moisture to keep warm-weather anglers cool during the heat of the hunt. But many so-called fishing tech shirts have a downside. It’s called permastink. The lightweight polyester that performs so well in warm temperatures has a very small pore structure that can trap and tightly grip bacteria and odor molecules. Once trapped, these odors can be difficult or impossible to remove, even with repeated washings.









SHADE




Whitewater’s Lightweight Tech Hoodie delivers anglers a triple dose of technology to keeps anglers dry, protected from solar radiation, and smelling fresh. Our 100% polyester interlock fabric delivers supreme, next-to-skin comfort, while wicking perspiration to keep anglers comfy and dry. UPF 30 provides both UVA and UVB skin protection that effectively blocks over 96% of ultraviolet radiation. Finally, an antimicrobial treatment controls and prevents odors, including permastink that can infiltrate untreated polyester garments.









Whitewater’s stretchy material is like witchcraft, too. Silky smooth to the touch. And it maintains its athletic fit after numberless wearing and washing. Functions like another layer of skin, one that protects you from the sun and draws moisture away.

In these economic times when every purchase is under scrutiny, these top-shelf fishing shirts pass the performance and practicality tests.














Lightweight Tech Hoodie FEATURES:100% Polyester interlock fabric
Moisture wicking for comfort and fast drying
UPF 30 solar protection
Antimicrobial treatment controls and prevents odors
Tailored fit for comfort and mobility
Available in five sizes, men’s SM-3X
Available in Blue, Gray, and NEW Olive Heather
