Wading Staff

A wading staff is a useful tool for fly fishers who need to navigate slippery, uneven, or deep riverbeds while wading. It is essentially a sturdy, collapsible pole that provides additional support and balance when crossing swift currents, traversing rocky substrates, or negotiating steep banks. Wading staffs are often made from lightweight materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber and feature a comfortable grip, adjustable height, and a durable tip for better traction. Some wading staffs also come with a lanyard or retractor to secure them to the angler's belt or vest, allowing for hands-free access when casting or handling fish.

How the Boutique works

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time

When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.

You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.

Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart

Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.

The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.

Thanks for supporting an independent fly tyer!

Catching your next fish on a fly tied by an individual fly tyer is a unique experience. You can be sure that the flies you buy are tied with care and attention to detail.
