For those of you interested in buying normally 'price-protected' gear at bargain prices, check out http://www.sierrtradingpost.com and navigate to the Sporting Goods > Gear or > Apparel categories.
This is the 'sale' you'll never see at your local fly shop. Just how good are the prices? How about Patagonia SST breathable waders, normally $330 for just $183.96? Or a Redington ML 7/8 Millenium reel, regularly $270 for just $169.95. Or Cortland 444 fly lines for $19.95. No, they don't offer advice or 'free' coffee. If that's important to you, then by all means pay full retail at your local fly shop. Yes, quantities and sizes are limited as these are probably close-out items - just like at the real sales that other kinds of retailers have. But at 25% to 60% off MSRP, it's probably worth bookmarking this site for return visits in case they don't currently have just what you're looking for. Kent Lufkin
