Gear We Trust

At Chocolate Dog Fly Fishing, we trust gear built by companies who share our respect for the outdoors, our commitment to conservation, and our passion for quality.

Whether guiding a float trip, wading, or scouting a new stretch of water, the right tools make the difference between a good day and a great one.

Note: The companies listed below reflect my personal preferences and equipment used in guiding operations. I am not sponsored or endorsed by any brand listed.
