The Itinerant AnglerEXAMPLES:

See the black “yoke thing” and the 6 pockets? How about those exterior zingers! The hood is too tall (although at least Simms separated hood and collar).
The cuff design is guaranteed to both leak and catch flyline. Last, look at that ugly-ass patch!
This is a $400 coat!
This one is even worse:

Chalk me up as Not A Fan.
This one is a big improvement:

I like where Patagonia is going here, a lot. But! It is still way too short. Look how long the arms are in proportion to the body! If you wore this with jeans you’d have three inches of shirt above the belt buckle showing *before* you hit coat.
Geez.

The Itinerant AnglerI haven’t seen one yet that really satisfied me.

Zach Matthews
The Itinerant AnglerHahaha, don’t worry Ed, I know where my priorities are. All in the name of good fly tying, eh?
Bird hunting is great fun but I am unlikely to ever reach the level of commitment to any form of hunting I have to flyfishing. I still flyfish year round in any weather.

The Itinerant AnglerMike-
Salient points first: Where the hell can you catch Muskie in Tennessee?
You might try your question on Upper Midwest Flyfishing, as well, since they have lots of muskies up there.

The Itinerant AnglerGenerally speaking you will find the highest quality from far eastern manufacturing starting in South Korea, then going to Taiwan, then Thailand, then mainland China.

The Itinerant AnglerHey bd-
CLAN rods of Scotland makes a Greenheart spey on an 1895 design – that is probably the closest you’ll get.
