Have you ever wanted to customize a fly box your way? We have the complete line of C&F fly boxes in multiple sizes and colors. We have them in stock at Bow River Troutfitters.

You can get them with compartments or specifically to hold tube flies, or you can simply get the boxes with double-sided C&F foam changers and make it your own.

The C&F boxes are lightweight, rugged, and have a waterproof seal to keep your flies dry. The latches are secure and the boxes float.

Choose from a huge variety of inserts to accommodate various sizes of flies and applications. You can have spares loaded up at home and swap them out depending on your fishing trip.

make some of our favourite nets ever. They just got even better with the new batch of Nomad Emerger and Yampa nets. We love the new color patterns and the River Armor 2.0 finish. If you want a big hoop with a shorter handle the Yampa is ideal, or go for the Yampa guide net to get the extra handle length.
