We had a lot of fun on the Flathead River in Columbia Falls, MT last week braving subzero temperatures on a beautiful day with bluebird skies.

What a perfect day to go fishing! Actually, it was way colder than I typically appreciate for winter flyfishing, but we wanted to put the ColdAvenger Hunter face mask to the test. As suspected, our faces stayed toasty and we couldn’t feel the biting air in our lungs and airway. As you know, it’s hard to fish if you’ve got your face all smashed down deep inside your collar, and if you wear a regular face mask you end up with that nasty snotty wetness all over your face. But we found that we could hold our heads up in the cold air and keep the moisture away from our faces, thanks to the ColdAvenger ventilation technology. If you have any questions about how it works, check out our health science sheets here.

We also had a great time breaking in the new River Camo Products from Montana Fly Company. They just came out with new reels, fly boxes, forceps, nippers and tying tools in four different designs of fish skin and camo prints. The MFC office is located just up the street from the river and just a block away from our PR pals at Outside Media, so it’s always fun to get the gang together and huck a line in any weather! Here’s a pic of Outside Media’s Sammi getting ready to set up the photo shoot.

September is a critical turning point in my year— the end of a busy summer working on new product development and securing retail purchase orders occupy my brain space and my time! It is September, which means our big seasons of Fall and Winter are oh so near. So, I had to make a quick break for it, relax and catch up on some fishing, my suntan (no comments please) and take a mini-vacation to do some deep sea fishing in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to go with my pals at Waypoint Outdoor and Shane from my PR team. A total boys trip and I loved every second of it!
