Thank you for helping out for those on the ground in a place far from home.
Your support means a great deal.

Fly lines - Second most needed item - as with the reels, we have more rods than lines, backing too is always needed.
Polarized sun glasses - nothing expensive, but they are a great help in spotting the fish and casting directly to them.
Tapered Leaders - 7 1/2 - 9 ft, tippets 0x-4x
Fly Rods - The best rod to use where they are fishing is an 8 1/2 ft 7wt with a weight forward line.
Lighter rods work well too.
