Featured Pack of the Month: Nimbus Guide Pack
Proof that Fish Pond packs earn their keep on the river.
Often times as we go through gear, fly boxes, vests etc. we find that we need a way to carry all that gear and keep it organized, here at Eddie Robinson’s we have a great selection of Fishpond bags that have compartments to hold all your necessary equipment
if your tired of that old vest or pack or if you just want something different we have a great selection of Fishpond vests, and packs, like the Fishpond Nimbus Guide Pack which boasts 579 cubic inches of storage space. The Nimbus includes a large top accessible zippered pocket for easy in and out that accommodates several large C&F boxes, lightweight and breathable fabric, bottom cinch straps for rod tubes or jackets, two exterior water bottle pockets and exterior Hypalon and cord tabs for hemostat and retractor attachment. This pack can be worn on the hips or slung over the shoulder either way it's a great pack for long and short days alike.
His net might be broken, but he's got plenty to smile about.
Do your waders leak?
Waders are an area that needs our attention, because they keep us dry and warm we have to make sure that they function correctly, which means they are free from leaks. If you happen to come across a pair of leaky waders bring them in, we can fit you into a new pair of Simms waders like the G4z, G3, and Headwaters. What we like about these waders is that they are all Gore-Tex waders with the former two being 5-layer Gore-Tex with an abrasion resistant fabric on the outside. All three waders have Simms patented hourglass bootie, guide model gravel guards, and a micro fleece hand warmer pocket.
However, we also have a selection of patch kits available for quick and easy repair, or we can have them sent in to the manufacturer. Along with our selection of Simms waders we also have a selection of Simms boots, with Vibram soles that are not only comfortable but are built to reduce the spread of invasive aquatic species.

“Many fly fishermen, including myself, use weight as a tool,adding it to the line somewhere near the fly enabling them to sink the fly faster. I use many different techniques when I fly fish. But after much thought, I finally realized what it was that made some techniques appeal to me yet left me completely uninterested in others.”
