Fly fishermen and women. I little mother-in-law research to help you pick some gear.

I’m a big fan of mother-in-law research meaning, in my mind, if you’re interested in making a purchase, why not go to an unbiased source and ask the question...Who is buying what? So I called up David Harvey, Manager of a store specializing in flyfishing, but more importantly and on a bigger scale, his outfit is a huge online business. It is troutfitter.com So it was really quite simple. I asked him, what is your hottest selling fly rod? “Hmmm. Our hottest selling fly rods. We do a lot of online business and a lot of in-store business and we sell a lot of Winston fly rods and a lot of Sage, Orvis as well, but Winston and Sage are our main 2 rods. What is it about these 2 rods that you feel are so good? Quality craftsmanship and being made here in America which makes a big difference to a lot of people. What about reels? We sell a lot of Galvin fly reels. Online we sell a lot of Galvin and Able, we do a lot of Hatch online but in the store I would say Galvin is the best. A lot of our guides and a lot of us use Galvin. Where huge fan. They are lightweight. It’s all made here in the states and they are great company. We definitely like to showcase their reels.
