New fishing jackets are here for the winter steelhead party. Designed for playing hard in the rain, the new all black Primo Rain Jacket and new full length Primo wading Jacket will keep you dry, and look good while doing it.
Join Waist Deep Media and Fishology with this look into what makes the Kenai river so great as an accessible fishing adventure.
Part two, of a four part series, showcases Jordan Young-Treadway’s story.
A calm day on the river after a snow is a magical thing. Snow in the trees, gentle flakes falling with little to no wind. A perfect day for a float, with dry hands, warm bodies and thoughts of leaping chrome fish. If we’re lucky enough to see a couple fish throughout the day we feel pretty good, and enjoy the time spent on the river with friends.
After all snow and winter steelhead pair together like so many good things. Bacon and eggs, bourbon and orange, peanut butter and jelly. Snow and steelhead.
We are thrilled to bring you the trailer for episode 1 of the We Out Here web series by Waist Deep Media. Full film dropping 1/25/24 for free on YouTube!
Join host Gian Lawrence (Instagram @theblackstonefly) in central Oregon for this raw and powerful look into what makes Austin Leonard (Instagram @theburrrprint) simply one of the most talented, inspiring and fishy dudes anywhere. Monster browns and skated steelhead provide some incredible fish porn but it’s Austin’s willingness to tell his story that really steals the show. Mark your calendar!

This is a neat tip from Jordan Young-Treadway @treadwatersfly on how to tame your Skagit head and sink tip while swapping a fly without reeling in any line at all. If you’re working through a run and want to make sure that you start again at the same distance, this trick lets you easily swap flies without reeling in your line. Without tying off to your rod like Jordan shows here your fly line will float away and tug on your tippet, making swapping flies more difficult. Happy fishing!
Here is Jordan Young-Treadway (@treadwatersfly on Instagram) showing how he carries his long handle guide net on walk and wade trips. By looping it through the net holding loop at the bottom of his BKCNTRY backpack and also supporting the top with the roll top clips, it makes the net easily accessible when it’s time to scoop up a fish. Happy fishing out there.
We’ve been using and recommending Korkers wading boots for years, and now have Korkers wading boots available to purchase direct from us.
Korkers™ boots are far and away our all time favorite boots (we REALLY like the River Ops™ and Devil’s Canyon™ model), and we can’t recommend them more highly than by offering them for sale alongside our own brand of DRYFT™ waders.
They’re lightweight, durable, functional, fit our waders well and all come with interchangeable soles. Being able to swap between rubber, felt, studs, and more to match the conditions and allowable materials (felt is banned in some areas) is clutch.
When you’re in need of new boots, we highly recommend checking out the Korkers River Ops, Devil’s Canyon and Women’s Darkhorse.
"Very comfortable set of waders... same quality as some $800+"
For every wader we sell we plant one tree along salmon and trout bearing streams.
