There are alot. What do you think Deeter? Your a guide, you know how to beat gear up (Me too, lol.)

Nah, it's White River, I fixed it. Sorry about that. Thanks koldkut and vtbluegrass.

Buck, I use a Barracuda. Love it.
Hooks, depends on what is being tied, big streamers, i use Gamakatsu. Normal, Tiemco

I think we might all be interested in what YOU have to say. I always wander how my choice in gear stacks up to a guy whose livelihood depends on his gear.

rods-temple fork...best bang for the buck although i do love my loomis custom.
waders-hell they all leak sometime.
boots- i currently have simms and cabelas but the best value were some hodgemans years ago.
line-what else is there but rio?
sunglasses-i'm with buckhunter.
flies-the cheap ones...i losse too many and share too many.

My guess for waders would be Hodgman waders due to their low prices for entry level waders. I use Orvis, Cabelas and Hodgman waders.

My guess with boots would be Cabelas brand due to the large amount of catalog sales. I wear Cabelas.

I would like to know what vise everyone is using. I like the Renzetti (cam) vise.
What hook is everyone using. I like Tiemco.
What sole do you like on your boots. Lug soles fit Ohio waters just fine. I'm sure that bucks the trend. I know. Not a brand but I'm still curious.
Is Ginks the best. I know SA had some good floatant out there but I can't find it anywhere.
I fish a lot in cold weather. My Patagonia Bunting gloves are great but I'd be curious to know what everyone else is wearing.

Sage rods were my first love until I discovered Loomis but my most recent purchase was a Sage. I just couldn't pass up a nice little 8 1/2 ft 3wt with a whippy action made for my favorite brook trout stream.

I would say my most used reels are Orvis spring and pawl drag. I'm rarely into fish that make my reels sing.

I agree SA lines are tops and Rio leaders are my favorite but what knot do others use to tie on their fly.

I only buy flies if I have to. As far as I'm concerned no one sells a good fly. Maybe Umpqua.

My favorite brand of glasses are the ones that don't make me cry when I lose them.

The only brand that really surprises me is Sage. I figured a lower end rod would dominate sales. I'm wondering if St. Croix has more units sold but Sage beats them out with gross sales.

I buy flies online. I buy from Hill's discount flies and Alaska flyfishing goods out of Juneau. I used to tie my own but I got old and blind. I fish with low end Orvis and Fenwick rods. I've got a Lamson reel the late wife bought me and a multi-tip line. The multi-tip is a godsend. I have gone from a guy who can fish one spot with one water level to a guy who can catch silvers everywhere any day.

The latest rod in my quiver is a 7 wt Hardy Zane Salt water that I picked up last Fall from a bud who knew I was looking for the perfect streamer rod. He hit the nail on the head. Hardy is definitely back to the luster of bygone days.

I go cheap on waders , as I seem to always find some barbed wire along the way as if I were a magnet.

Fly tying - I like cascade crest and spirit river.

Boots - korkers.

fly box - cliff outdoors.

tippet - dry - maxima - wet - froghair flouro - leaders - knotted

Line - Dry - SA Sharkskin - Streamers - SA Kelly Galloup Streamer Express 200 grain

My next purchase will be a water master kodiak raft.

See you on the water.

F&S is a good general outdoors mag, but I'm pretty sure it's not exactly at the top of the list as far reading materials go for hardcore flyfishermen. As such I wouldn't put too much stock in this survey.

I think a survey done by one of the leading fly fishing only magazines, that caters specifically to fly fishermen (such as American Angler or Fly Rod & Reel) would be more likely to truely reflect the tastes of the average fly fisherman.
