Why purchase an Abel reel? Because in a nutshell Abel manufacture the best fly-reels on the market, and since 1988 have set the standard by which all other fly-reels are judged. Abel reels are like a Ferrari and a Mack Truck all rolled into one – they are a thing of beauty and are indestructible. All of the staff members here at Frontier Fly Fishing use Abel reels and for good reason – there is no better fly-reel on the market. Period!

Dean Riphagen, author of the best seller, The South African Fly Fishing Handbook and Stillwater Trout does all our book orders, and due to his extensive knowledge of fly fishing literature, ensures we have the best books in South Africa.

We recently received over 500 of the world’s finest fly fishing literature, including technical how-to-, coffee table-, non-fiction- and fiction books. We’ve received books with authors like LaFontaine, Gierach, Barry and Cathy Beck, Brian O’Keefe, Charlie Craven and Shane Stalcap.

We agree!

The staff at Frontier Fly Fishing all agree that the fly-fishing luggage made by Fishpond in the USA is the very finest there is – no debate. We’ve just received a huge shipment of Fishpond luggage, from rolling duffels and daypacks to fly-tying cases and reel caddys.

Have you been looking for an affordable breathable wader that you can trust and depend on in all conditions? We at Frontier Fly Fishing believe we have found an affordable option.

 We've always been impressed with the quality and functionality of Korkers' wading boots. But late in 2009 Korkers introduced a new boot, the Predator, that has, to our mind, set the standard in wading boot excellence. Unlike previous Korkers wading boots which feature interchangeable soles, the new Predator boot has a dedicated sole of either Korkers' patented Kling-On rubber, or felt. The Kling-On rubber is 30% softer than other wading boot compounds which translates into superior grip on wet or dry rocks. Anglers looking for the ultimate wading boot for wading slippery rivers like the Vaal need look no further than the felt soled Korkers Predator boot. These features, coupled with the Boa lacing system makes these wading boots the best boots on the market.

Korkers interchangeable soles will change the way you think about wading boots. Clip on the rubber soles, hike into your favourite fishing spot, then change the rubber soles for felt and go fishing. It's as simple as that. Then at the end of the day's fishing you can change the felt soles for rubber soles and hike back to your starting point.

Korkers boots have proven themselves the world over, from the streams of the Drakensberg and the Western Cape to the rivers of New Zealand and Argentina.

McFlyFoam is a new product specifically for tying Glow Bugs. However we believe it is not only for fly-tying, but it floatability and stretch properties make it great for use as strike indicator material.

The Patagonia Pack Vest has been a favourite of the Frontier Fly Fishing staff since Dean first took one to New Zealand in 1997. It’s exactly what its name implies – it’s a daypack and vest all rolled into one. It’s our favourite pack/vest combination where we’ll be spending a long day out on the river or stream – this garment will holding everything bar the kitchen sink.
