My search for a do-it-all kitchen knife has been ongoing for twenty-plus years. Benchmade surprised me with the best one yet.

One thing I appreciate about the sport of fly fishing is its reverence for the past – for the anglers and gear that came before us. Fly anglers are big on quality and classics. If they find something that works well, it may be used for a lifetime.

Loop, YETI, Carhartt, Poncho Shirts—they all have gear in colors and logos that represent your college football team. Nothing wrong with showing a little school pride when you fly fish.

I stopped taking photos when fishing because it got in the way. A well-designed piece of metal led me to a company whose gear makes it easier to balance the two pursuits.
