Fin & Fire Fly Shop Reviews

Love these boots. I know it sounds psychotic, but I broke in the boots hiking up to Mt. Whitney’s peak. They live up to their description and are some of the best boots I’ve ever purchased.

There are a lot of lines out there, but only the Predator can carry a big fly in the wind and land it perfectly, every time. This one is a must-have for anyone with a chance of coming across seriously big fish!

After using a buddies 12’6” 7wt Redington Chromer I wanted one but it was discontinued and replaced by the Claymore. Just received it and really like the feel and performance.

I have the 1002 and 1063 ESN and this reel balances both rods nicely. I like the narrow spool width and full frame design, as well as the chipotle color scheme which pairs nicely with my rods. When I am euro nymphing, I tend to hold the rod at the bottom of the grip with part of my hand actually on the reel seat. This gives me maximum reach and has now become a habit. With the 1oz weight at the back of the reel, my rods balance better than ever. I used to use a 5/6 Ross Evo LTX as my euro reel a...

As the name implies these reels are truly ICONIC. Going back yet definitely moving forward. In hand it just seems like so much more of a reel. Iconic? OK, but this is GEN3 all the way. Put one in your hand and you will immediately feel the difference. Put one on your rod and hook up, there is no going back!

I haven't had a chance to fish with the Sage Pulse yet, but from what I experienced playing with in on the lawn, I think it's going to be a great rod. The purchase experience with Fin & Fire was wonderful, as well.

I purchased these for my son for Christmas. His wife said they were on the top of his wish list! I’m sure that he’ll love them as much as his new passion, fly fishing in his new home of central Oregon!

I had a wonderful experience with Fin & Fire Fly Shop. They had the 5 and 6 wt. 9' Sage X-Rods I wanted in stock, shipped them promptly and they arrived well-packed a few days later with Rio Gold fly lines. I have already recommended Fin & Fire to a friend and fishing partner!

Good experience, The gentleman that took care of me called me back after I placed an order with him to suggest going down a line size, would’ve a little to much for the rod it was being paired with, very helpful. Backing and Fly line was loaded on the reel and ready to go. Appreciate that!

I was able to try out the Simms waders today. They fit and kept me dry. I will let you know how they hold up at the end of the season. I was surprised at how fast they were shipped.

The Amplitude Infinity lines are the best lines and biggest improvement in fly lines since I started fly fishing in 1977. You might as well strip the lines off all of your other reels after casting this line.

I own a number of Sage rods from RP's to One's and when the X came out it was an easy decision to own a couple. Fin and Fire stocks what they advertise unlike many other shops and deliver promptly and the items are well packaged. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic reel! Live nearly across the country and it was here in a couple of days. Very nice and friendly when I called to verify stock. Will buy from them again!

lots of buddies have this pair, trying them out but so far so good. Good semi stiff hiking boot that doesnt seem like it will take a lot to break them in.

I bought this for one of my grandsons. He loves it a lot. He has not used it. He had a snowboard accident. He goes to Hawaii at the end of the month and is very much looking forward to using it then.

My shopping experience with Fin & Fire has exceeded my expectations. They have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff always willing to answer questions even if it doesn’t relate to a sale. That is a mark of a company that cares about the fishing community.

Ordered over the phone and was treated very well. Simple, easy and reel came quickly loaded with line perfectly

I liked it so much that I got a second one. One to keep with my boat fishing gear when I go wade fishing from it, and one to keep with my car fishing gear when I drive to a place to wade fish. It's very handy when you want to be able to wade fish with 2 fly rods.

This is a great daily use bag! I use this bag for between home and work holding my macbook and folders that I need. As well as a reliable daily bag for trade shows that I attend. It’s a great option. Very well made and the design and pockets are just right for its uses. The only downside I have so far is I’m not a big fan of the zippers getting stuck with this rip zip system that Mystery Ranch uses. But not that big of an issue.

This is - by far - the best waterproof, windproof jacket I have ever owned for any outdoor sport! I do a lot of fishing and a lot of sailing/boating and this puts nearly all other brands to shame. Don't hesitate for a second on the price. Worth every dollar!!

The rod is great but Fin and Fire Fly Shop is why I’m writing this review- they are great! I got exactly what I ordered in 2 days one week before Xmas. I will be ordering from them in the future.

Been using the Crispi Laponnias for all my early hunts for three years now. They are super light yet supportive enough to pack an elk out many miles. These boots perform!

It was great working with Fin and Fire Fly Shop on a hard to find closeout item. They were able to get my waders shipped out in a timely manner during the holiday season...and they arrived before Christmas.

I LOVE this reel!! When you take it out of the box and see it for the first time you will NOT be disappointed! This reel is looker...I would go as far to say even a double taker! and the sound when you reel....it just touches the soul and puts a big fat smile on your face! I finally got to use it this weekend, and due to a recent cold snap things were pretty slow. I did hook up with one decent size rainbow that was looking for a fight and went airborne to prove its intent. When it got into the b...

I had originally bought this line for my brother-in-law as a gift. I went back and forth with what sinking rate to get him and opted for the 6in/second. I tested his out and then went and ordered myself the same line! Fishing our local river this line is great, sinks well and casts great! I also love that it seems to have a very low memory so I get nice straight tight lines on delicate drifts in the winter. I run it on a Redington Rise 3 in 4/5wt and paired it with a 6wt 9' Orvis Recon for use s...

Last February I had a bad fall on some muddy grass on the bank of a river. My soles were felt. I read about these soles that are felt with studs and thought I would give them a try. Last week I fished three days and never once slipped on the bank or in the water. I am very pleased with these soles.

Absolutely one of the best on the market and I have several to compare it with. Won’t be upgrading these for quite some time.

Unfortunately, most fly-fishing waters in Alaska are ice right now, so really hard to test the Ross Animas 7/8, on real fish. Plan is to match the reel to the G-Loomis, 7 wt., NRX +. Hopefully a real reel review soon.

Perfect weight for blustery days on the ocean . For those who like me, are concerned about sun exposure, this is perfect.

I have never had a jacket of any kind that is so lightweight, but keeps me warm at the same time. The sizing is accurate and the jacket is so comfy i could wear it all the time. Great job sitka and great job fin & fire for having this in stock!!

Besides the quality and mechanics the selling point for me was the affordability of the spare spools. I fish several fly lines and other brands are 3/4 price of the reel.

Fast shipping from Fin & Fire, had a delay for 2 weeks but was Fedex problem. Got them in yesterday, extremely comfortable and plenty warm enough for Louisiana hunting. If you plan on wearing pants under these i suggest 2 sizes up, they fit snug and comfortable with jeans under.

Fins and fire was so helpful with the purchase of my hardy reel. They filled my order really quick and it was at my house in 3 days. I would recommend them for any and all fly fishing needs. Thank you

The oros strike indicator worked well. No slippage on the leader, the leader wasn't kinked where the indicator was placed. Very easy tp put on and take off. Glad I made the purchase.

Love my simms waders! I’m 5’4, 130 pounds and glad I got the mediums. I usually wear smalls in everything so thought these would be too big. These fit perfectly! If I went smaller I think I would of had to return them for a larger pair. Haven’t tried them out yet but so far I’m satisfied. Just need to get in the water now!

It's really nice to have a pair of waders that are rugged, fit so well and look so good. I like to hike and fish in remote areas so, based on the testimonials I've read and heard I can't wait to put them to the test. The Zipper is a must. Gravel guards, suspenders, waist belt and pockets are all well thought out. Lots of comfort and flexibility, dry so far. Based on past experience with "Simms" waders, these are going to last a long time! Yes, They are expensive...
