Howler Brothers at 2018 ICAST

When  ever I go to ICAST or Surf Expo, I always stop by the Howler Brothers booth to say hello to Mason and the crew.  This year was  no exception.  This year I was surprised to see the Howler Mobile parked in their booth.  The entire Howler Brothers product line up is designed to be worn as everyday wear during the summer, spring, fall and winter.

Since I started attending ICAST and Surf Expo, I have never missed visiting their booth.  What I have missed is a trip to Austin, Texas to visit the Howler Bothers World Headquarters.  That is on my bucket list.  With summer in full swing, now might be the time to score some cool fall and winter clothes and jackets.  Howler Brothers are have a website sale going on right now. Be sure to check it out.

With Surf Expo just right around the corner in September, be sure to check back after September 10th for more news about the Howler Brothers. Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.


FisheWear Women's Fly Fishing Apparel and Gear at 2018 ICAST

The 2018 ICAST is a gift that keeps on giving.  At this year's show I met a great bunch of women fly anglers at the FisheWear booth.  The story on how Linda Leary started FisheWear reads like a fairy tale story. From hatching the  idea to being an Orvis collaborator in about four years is very impressive.

The booth was a buzz as buyers were being introduced to the amazing, colorful line up of fly fishing apparel and gear.  If you like colors and crazy artwork, FisheWear is the brand for you.  One of the components of big trade shows like ICAST and Surf Expo that draws me in, are the dazzling arrays of graphic designs and artwork covering every square inch of the show floor space.  The FisheWear booth blended in perfectly.  All of their products are covered with multi-color designs.

Who does not love to wear color clothes, especially those designed for fly fishing or other types angling? 

So if you are in the market for some new fly fishing clothes or gear, or if you are refreshing your fly fishing gear and clothes, do not miss the opportunity to check out FisheWear.  You will not be disappointed.  So until the 2019 ICAST, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.
