Available from Patrick's Fly Shop when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The Fishpond Grass Sticks Wading Staff is what you reach for when the river is pushy, the rocks are slick, and you’d rather stay upright. Handcrafted in Steamboat Springs, Colorado from sustainably harvested bamboo, it has the kind of strength-to-weight ratio that feels solid in heavy current without being a chore to carry. At just over 53 inches, the fixed-length design gives you reliable reach and balance, with both a contoured top handle and a lower shaft grip so you can change hand positions
