GEAR OF THE WEEK

Korkers | River Ops Boot

This brand-new wading boot brings the tough mindset of tactical gear to fly fishing. The key is a construction that leaves no stitches exposed while wrapping around the foot, warding off the abuse of sharp rocks and submerged sticks, while also offering plenty of drainage with each step. And the plush soles (available in felt or Vibram studs) offer plenty of support and traction, even in fast water.
