Uptown Angler went to the Fly Fishing Retailers Show in Denver...

...and we have brought back some great new stuff.

• A new Loomis one piece rod. Perfect for keeping rigged on your boat ready to go. She casts a mile and has a sturdy fish fighting section. Winter redfish beware of this baby.
• We found the perfect softshell jacket from Cloudveil (traditionally the maker of ski wear) for winter flats fishing on those cold early morning. Its soft, water repellant, wind stopping and perfect layering. And it is going to be sold at a really inexpensive price.
• From William Joseph, a rain jacket as good as the best for under $100.00.
• From Umpqua a hemostat that is 12" long and super sturdy (for reaching into those trophy redfish).
• From Oakley the safest, most optically correct and perfectly polarized technical sunglasses for seeing deeply into the water.
• From Sage its new Xi3 rod with significant improvements over the 2.
• And much more to come. We have videoed the manufacturers of many of these products to give you some first hand knowledge about what they were trying to accomplish in their designs.
