As I sit here trying to come up with an accurate prediction about how the fishing and water conditions over the next couple of months will play out in our part of Southwest Montana, I know how the weatherman feels.  No matter what I write, I am going to be wrong on some part of my predictions.  Well it won’t be the last time, here goes.

As of Saturday March 21st, we have a new face to our already popular web site www.theriversedge.com. Some of you may have reached this blog through that site while others may have gotten here from somewhere else. If you have not had a look at our redesigned homepage and web store and please have a look and let us know what you think.

Simms Headwaters Waist Pack Review

Simms Headwaters Waist Pack

Simms’ new Headwaters Waist Pack is a versatile pack that could be used in many different angling pursuits. We see this pack being used everywhere from our homewaters of the trout streams of Southwest Montana to the flats of Mexico’s Ascension Bay.

Streamtread Sole Update

As the weather has been changing here in Southwest Montana and we seem to finally see the light to better weather ahead, many of the users of the Simms Streamtread Soled boots have been out and had a good chance to use them. The reviews have been outstanding so far from the many customers to whom we have sold them. In addition, I myself have had a better chance to get out and use them on our local rivers like the Madison and Yellowstone.

Two things I have determined since my last review.

Simms Streamtread Video Review on You Tube

We recently completed a video review of the Simms Streamtread Soles which is now up on You Tube and can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9b07P7PYCc.  Check it out and let us know what you think.  There will be more to come.  For this review, we teamed up with Jon Yousko of Simms Fishing Products to explain and show the features of the Streamtread Boots.

Simms Headwaters Chest Pack Review

A great new pack from Simms Fishing Products in their 2009 line is the Simms Headwaters Chest Pack. If you are looking for the pack to take to the Gallatin or your local river for an afternoon of fishing the Simms Headwaters Chest Pack is worth considering.

Chestpacks in general don’t hold as much gear as a waist or fanny pack might but their advantages are that they are smaller and are less obstructive on your person while fishing and casting.

Simms Headwaters Day Pack Review

 

Simms Headwaters Day Pack Front View

 

Just when we thought there were some pretty nice options to carry your fishing gear to the river and on the streams, along comes Simms to try and make something even better. We just received new for the 2009 season the Simms Headwaters Day Backpacks and at first glance, I am impressed. Simms looks as though they put a lot of thought into the design and construction of this pack trying to make it clean and functional which I feel is of the upmost importance when designing a backpack for fishing.

Simms G3 Wader review

Heading back to product reviews for this week, while peering through the internet, we found this interesting review of the Simms G3 Wader done for the folks at Outside Magazine. Although the Simms G3 is not a new product, we liked the angle that this product review has on one of Simms best waders. Have a look!

Pesca Maya

I just got back from my first saltwater fly fishing adventure earlier this month.  Me and the rest of the guys at The River’s Edge closed down the fly shop for a week and headed South of the border to fish the world renowned flats of Ascension Bay.  We stayed at Pesca Maya Fishing Lodge located about three hours South of Cancun in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.  From Pesca Maya you have the option of fishing either Ascension Bay (about 30 minutes by boat if the weather permits), or the Boca Paila Lagoons right behind the Lodge.  We lucked out while we were down there and had great weather, allowing us the option of fishing Ascension Bay every day.  It was mostly sunny with temps in the 80’s and relatively little wind…a welcome change from winter in Montana.
