The skinny on sandals

| Simms new Streamtread sandal |
They spent a day float fishing the Upper Madison known for fast pushy water and slippery cannon ball sized boulders strewn along the course of the river. This is not a flip flop kind of river.
The guide showed up at the fly shop in the morning sportin' one of those trendy straight brimmed hats, hemp necklace and reef sandals. We suspect he smoked the rest of his necklace and twisted up a necklace with the remainder. They launched from the shop and embarked on a journey never to forget or maybe one to be forgotten.
At the boat ramp, gearing up was in full effect and boat was ready to be launched when my friend noticed Harry the hemp head had not changed out of his reefs? Was this dude really going to hit the river in flip flops and "am I really paying this kid to float me down the river" my friend asked himself? Sure enough, it happened, after the kid applied his cocoa butter, they launched - the guide kicked up his feet and sat back only to make a few sweeps on the sticks. Fish were caught but only because my client is an ace fisherman. Top five reasons you should back out of a guided fly fishing trip:
5. Your guide shows up wearing leather sandals and is concerened with getting them wet.
4. Your guides hemp necklace is smoking.
3. You notice your guide has applied cocoa butter for a deep dark tan rather than SPF to fend off harmful sun.
2. Your guide pulls through a Subway sandwich shop drive thru to grab lunches while towing his janky lavro drift boat.
1. Rather than a toe gaurd on your guide's flip flops, he has attached small mirrors for added sun reflection adding to the deep dark tan.
Searching for the hammock-lounging comfort of a favorite sandal combined with the technology of a burly, river-ready shoe? Look no further. Simms’ superhero sandal features a quick-pull system for lightning-fast lace-ups and wading boot outsole technology that conquers rock, concrete, rebar, and the myriad unmentionables of your favorite carp infested waters… as well as the campfire, beach, and back again—all in a day’s work.

Beaverhead River Sunset Montana
Thing's here in Western North Carolina are great as Caroline and I have been working remotely on finishing up projects we had going on back in Montana. It sounds like some of the fires are now under control and we hope for continued effort and thank all who have helped fighting.
Good friend and Outfitter, Sean Efferson reported a banner day on the Upper Madison yesterday. Fish were caught from ramp to ramp! We call that "Burning the house down" but we choose these words carefully this Summer. It's a cool and comfortable 75 degrees this morning as I write this. There is a lot of work ahead for us but we are loving our new life in North Carolina. Happy 4th to everyone and we promise to keep our Blog updated on all things relevant to fly fishing.
