Overview:
"Making your list and checking it twice" should be the mantra for any angling adventure. There are several important reasons to give your gear list some serious thought when heading for the wilds. Ever changing weather makes technical clothing every bit as important as your fishing equipment. All of the guides and outfitters on the TCO team travel to fish, some as far as Alaska, Argentina, New Zealand and the tropics so you can ask them what to bring to our area or to any destination world wide. Any doubts or questions, e-mail or call us at 877-TCO-3597.
