IFTD 2021 Postponed


Well...that sucks. Probably for the best and it's never an easy decision. I don't envy the folks that had to do it and I feel bad for all the vendors and attendees who were counting on the show. I won't be getting any in-person, live-from-the-show-floor coverage for you guys, but I'll still do my best to introduce you to all the new gear I can find. Just have to approach it a bit differently! If any manufacturers read this and want a little extra coverage, drop me a note, I'd love to work with you!! Everybody stay safe, stay healthy and stay fishy! -Nick

Iron Fly - IFTD 2019

Packing both sides of the tables at this year's Iron Fly! The largest yet!!

Hatch Reels - IFTD 2019

 This is pretty incredible, this is the Hatch Reels display case that was on the counter at East End Lodge when Hurricane Dorian hit. The intact reel case was one of the few objects salvaged from the wreckage. Hatch Reels is taking the case around the country on the show circuit to help raise money for the lodge and its employees. Such an amazing artifact to see in person and drop a few bucks into.

Douglas Outdoors - IFTD 2019

Lots of things going on in the Douglas booth this year! They're stepping into the entry level market with a new rod to retail around $130! And, after doing so well in the 6 Weight Rod Shootout, they have entered a 5 weight that's doing very well! Congrats to the folks at Douglas!

TenkaraUSA - IFTD 2019

TenkaraUSA has just celebrated their 10th anniversary, so, to celebrate, they've released a limited edition 10th Anniversary tenkara rod!

IFTD 2019 Day 2!

 Let's do this!!

Map the Xperience - IFTD 2019

Map the Xperience is a cartography company that is printing river maps on fabrics as well as traditional laminated paper. The map products can be rebranded for fly shops, customized to specific areas and include a QR code to download a digital version to your smartphone! Very cool idea, you should never be without a map!

Lyons Press/Stackpole Books - IFTD 2019

Added a few more titles to my reading list in the Lyons Press/Stackpole Books booth. Kirk Dietrich's Tying Bugs is now high on that list!!

Riversmith - IFTD 2019

I took an up close look at the Riversmith Riverquiver 2- and 4-Banger rod carriers. Lots of thought has gone into these with the goal of being the best available! The new black finish is sharp! And, the anti-theft design on the box will keep rods and reels secure!

O'Pros Fly Fishing Booth - IFTD 2019

Checked out the products in the O'Pros Fly Fishing Booth. New this year is the Third Hand rod holder, they also have a neoprene wader belt designed to better support the Third Hand , as well as several shapes of fly patch for your hat!

Made it!!!

Made it to IFTD 2019!!!

34 more days until IFTD/ICAST 2018!!!

34 more days until IFTD/ICAST 2018!!! Tonight's Throwback Countdown shot is the Finn Utility booth from IFTD 2014. One of the things that really holds appeal for me in fly fishing is it's history and tradition. These hand made accessories from Vermont combine modern utility with the traditional fly fishing aesthetic. All the Finn products are built tough, made to be used and will last generations! Check them out at FinnUtility.com and @finnutility.
