Gear - Manufacturers
A friend told us about a discussion he had with his better half over the proliferation of fly rods in his garage. His spouse wondered why he needed so many rods when fly fishing he could only use one at a time. He replied with something along the lines of 'why do you have eight pairs of black shoes when you can only wear one at a time?' I can't recommend using the same logic if you run into a similar situation, but I'm guessing we'd all like another rod or reel in our personal inventories. 

To that end, we've compiled a listing of major and not so major gear manufacturers. Below you'll find links directly to rod, reel, waders and fly tying equipment manufacturing sites. Also, links to drift, pontoon and other watercraft sites.
