Fly Fishing

jeremy · Location: Portland, Maine

Hey Everyone,

It's been 3 years now trying to get some way to get Flies And Fins Logo'd Apparel. We get lot's of requests for hats and shirts and stuff and we have tried to go to various clothing/print screening places to get it done for us without much success. Well, its finally done! The best part is that the clothing is not just the typical stuff from some vanilla silk screening company that will slap a logo on any old t-shirt, pants, hat etc.. The Rail Riders clothing is right up our alley! This gear is simply amazing and lives up to its tagline "The Toughest Clothes On The Planet." Here is the best part. Joey, connected us with John (the owner) of Rail Riders clothing and he was loved everything about Flies And Fins! John sent samples of clothes to me and a couple of my close fly fishing buddies and I can say, without question, that this clothing is TOUGH. Perfect for the hard-core fly fishing many of us do in both fresh and saltwater. So, we are amped up to have John and Rail Riders onboard as part of the Fliesandfins.com Crew! A bunch of us have already been putting Rail Riders clothes to the test trout fishing out west, steelheading in Great Lakes, saltwater fly fishing in the Florida Keys etc.. and so far everyone seems to agree that the clothing is pretty impressive and definatively "Tough!" Additionally, the clothing and The Rail Riders story is as grass roots and as authentic as Fliesandfins.com. John is as passionate about his clothing as all of us are about fly fishing. Check out the Rail Riders story and check out some of the amazing places the clothes have traveled around the world - and some of the amazing environments the clothes have been tested in. John is not only going to do all of our logo'd apparel he is also going to be asking us, all of us, for help in giving honest feedback to help him further develop Rail Riders clothing specifically for fly fishing applications! So, stay tuned as within 1 week we will be putting up links to buy Flies And Fins/Rail Riders hats, hydro zip T's, versa-tec pants and more! And stay tuned for lot's more Flies And Fins/Rail Riders products to be released throughout 2009 and for years to come! We are certain, that if you like Fliesandfins.com, you are going to love the Flies And Fins/Rail Riders gear that you are going to be able to get! Here is a picture of the hat and hydro zip T that I just got from John today .. this stuff and more will be available to buy online in a week or so .. and all Fliesandfins.com members will be getting a great discount code! So, check out the Rail Riders story .. welcome John as part of our crew .. and stay tuned for links to get Flies and Fins/Rail Riders gear, contests, prizes and lot's more exciting stuff in 2009!

Very exciting stuff..I cannot wait to get some more railriders gear. My neighbor CC, who lives in these clothes, has nothing but great things to say about their clothing line. I have had the opportunity use some of the railriders products first hand and like jeremy has said "it is tough," But not so tough that it is uncomfortable to wear. Actually some of the products are very light for warmer weather but are buit with the extreme adventurer in mind. Definatley worth every penny.

My name is Greg and have a long history with flies and fins. I have always said that some people fish hard and some fish harder and the gear they use and wear should be made to last and withstand the the elements. The people that fish harder need a clothing line that that will stand up to the elements longer. Long lasting is what we need, especially those of us that try to fish every day we can.
Welcome to flies and fins, you'll like it here, good people, good stories and pictures, It's not just a website it's an adventure!

Very cool that this relationship has evolved the way that it has. Railriders is great stuff that is tested by people in very extreme environments so fly fishing is a natural fit. Having fliesandfins logo gear on such top quality clothing will be awesome. Welcome John!
