2009
A long, long time ago, in the small village of Kellokoski Finland, a son was born into the family Vision. A family with long roots, buried deep inside in the sport of fly-fishing. The boy already showed great interest in this sport by the age of five; when he caught his first fish on a fly. He got better every year catching more and more fish from everywhere he casted. As a teenager, he started to brag about his catch inside the family. It went on and on and on and he always tried to surpass his teacher and a grandmaster of this art, his own father. On a pale calm morning in November 2009,

The coin flip had decided to throw the boy towards west. He headed for one of Eastern Europe’s best C&R grayling waters, to Lesko, Poland. He thought he would multiply his catch for the day by releasing every fish and trying to get it back again. He started the day with a fast and reachable rod for nymphing, the 9’’6’ #4 GT4. As the day went on and the evening rise was about to begin, he switched to a softer 9’ #3 Cult and continued with dries. At the end of the day he finished with total of 83 measurable grayling. “That came easy.” He said with a wide smile in his face. He didn’t know what was still to come.

These 3- and 4- piece rods are a blast from the past. More and more you see this type of rod in the hands of hard core trout fisherman. Their deep, medium action is really made for fishing, not just casting as far as possible.

There are also two Catapult models with faster action perfect for stillwater fishing. Nite has a retro look with natural gray, non- sanded blanks and non-varnished joints.

SETS
This set makes an immediate impact. The set includes Attack rod, Koma reel, Attack line, backing and leader. While others are wondering what the correct line for their rod is, you will be already casting with your line in the air. Everything is set up for you in a specially designed tube-reel cover combo. Just assemble your rod, pull out the leader and fish!

This triple anodised reel is machined from one piece of high quality aluminium. GT reels have our new line of styling. No wonder some people have started to call this reel their soul mate. It comes in a tiny 2-4 weight up to size 11. This year we tuned the brake for extra smoothness and made a whole new size, 5/6. This fits nicely between 4/5 and 6/7 which are both lighter than ever, thanks to the improvements in sustainable materials. The GT24 is a nice sensitive model for those fishing in tiny creeks. It does not have a disc brake as just a simple click provides enough brake to avoid fly line running loose. DETAILS PAGE 39

Clear was in the zone of big fish. He took a flight to Fonte Boa, a rainforest territory in Northern Brazil, to end up fishing the bushy corners of Amazon river, where it was possible to catch the biggest Giant Catfish imaginable on a fly. Heavy Extreme tippets and even heavier lines saw daylight while he posed with another four local helpers to hold the enormous fish up. “Is this a fish at all?!?!” He laughed. The local tribes were more interested in his lines. As money was an unknown currency here he decided he could probably save himself from possible cannibals by trading these different colour coils of Big mamas, Compounds and Ace shooting heads for a canoe and oars. He cut a nice deal, although the locals used the lines as a jewellery in their warrior outfits… On the other side of the world, Broad was proceeding

Do you want to cast far with ease? These lines are made for those double-haulers who really like to rip it. They also handle heavy flies with ease and can take windy conditions. Extend, Compound and Extreme Distance each have totally different profiles to suit different tastes and conditions.
extend / 15,3 m head
extreme distance / 9-12 m head
For those who want to combine long and accurate casts. It may need some skill and a bit of casting experience, but with this line, you’ll love it. With Extend, you will see your casts go further but close calls work nicely as well. This is now our highest selling line. Perhaps also our best.
compound / 9,6 m head Compound is based on our ACE shooting head. It will load your rod with short line, thanks to its advanced taper. All sinkers are density compensated to keep their touch. Compound tapering also makes it easy to lift from the water and to manage heavy flies.

Cult lines have a softer coating to optimize presentation. These lines have classic WF and DT profiles. DDT 4-7 / Double Double Taper™ This special double taper line has different taper profiles on both ends. One is short while the other is long so you can choose between a delicate and a more aggressive presentation. For long distance casts where ultimate line control is needed the DDT performs brilliantly with a shorter taper in front, you might even have to add some running line at the end…

Everything is pretty laid back – so you won’t need these, just use your priest. However if none of the above is happening, you should give ‘em a go.

spey ace / 22.5m head An easy Spey line to cast. This is made for real fishing, not just competition casting. Spey Ace taper improves easy lift off and turnover, because most of the head weight is in the mid and rear end of the head. With the long coloured rear taper it is easy to adjust the point where you cast your line. It also gives you an opportunity to use the same line with different rod lengths without having the feeling that the line is too long or short. Just pick your favourite point to cast the line.

Choose and use. Scissors not needed. These lines are available in three lengths: regular ace, ace short and ace long. Ace shooting heads are now available also with an interchangeable tip system. The package includes a floating head with floating, intermediate and sink 3 tips. The intermediate tip is clear and therefore almost invisible to the fish. The head and tips have strong and slim loops for easy and quick connecting and the head also has a loop at the back end for attaching it to the running line. For those who need faster than sink 3 tips we also offer separate, sink 5 and sink 8 tips. These tips have the same weights and lengths as the package tips, offering hinge free casting. Ace tip lines perform very well with Skagit style casts too. The Ace tip system is available from 23grams to 45grams and they follow the standard Ace lengths, weights and profile. The kit includes a mesh wallet for tips.
We also offer ACE shooting heads for single hand rods. The ace tapering with your double-haul is the key to achieving long distance with a small number of casts. You can also turn the head other way around and you have the perfect big fly shooting head. Today pike, tomorrow sea trout...
ace running lines Running lines with braided cores. These runners doesn’t have any memory whatsoever so no need to stretch them before use. We have a ready-made loop at one end for smooth and easy attaching to your shooting head. Running lines are available also in intermediate and sink 3 densities in their thickest diameter 0.040”. These are extremely slick and very easy to handle, being at their best in pike or salmon fishing.

fly swivel If you have ever fished for pike with a fly you will definitely have had thoughts on how to connect your fly to the wire leader easily. This is the easy and secure option. Attach one of these at the end of your wire and you can change your fly quickly without having to cut the wire. This is light enough so it doesn’t disturb your fly’s movement and the barrel at the end prevents most of the line twist which is often caused by these bird size pike flies. The package contains 10 swivels. VFS
tippets When a tippet material has been around for years, it is a mark of quality. There is no fly fisherman who will use tippets that fail. We all have favourites. Some look for maximum strength and others look for presentation or easy knot tying. The Extreme tippet’s popularity comes from combining all these qualities.
Our tippet spools for Extreme, Fluorocarbon and Wireline have a unique fixation system. These patented spools also have a practical rubber band to prevent line tangles. It is easy to read which line size the spools contain and equally easy to rotate them smoothly even when several spools are attached to each other. The benefits of Vision Fluorocarbon are invisibility in water and higher weight. It sinks faster than standard monofilament, and is ideal with wet flies. Use it while fishing with dry flies to break the surface tension, to present flies more naturally and to reduce any glare that fish might see.
tippet rings Tippet rings make leader making easier and faster. Tie the end of your leader onto one of these and then tie your tippet length to the ring. They are also great for tying droppers to leader or when you want to attach fluorocarbon to monofilament. They weigh almost nothing, so they do not affect turnover or the leaders floating/ sinking properties. Our tippet rings are also available in bigger sizes with 20 kilo breaking strength. You may now enjoy these in salmon and pike fishing too. 10pcs/bag. VTR / VTRM

The rivers flooded as young Clear arrived at the bank of XXXX on Vancouver Island, North America. It was a time to go through all the wader bags he had carried with him. Barefoot wading: too cold. Extreme hip: too short. Radipor guiding: too short. Even his own Gillie in size small was not high enough for wading without letting in freezing water at the top. He decided to use his dad’s Extreme zips in size XXL, and cut holes for the arms and head as he tied the waders, which were far too large, on top of his head. By this he could gain the missing inches he needed for reaching the fish. A brave, stupid and silly-looking thing to do, but it worked as he managed to land nice steelheads and kings with this sleeping bag like outfit.

Superior fabric technology - F4wader™ and F3wader™ Vision F-series wader fabrics are our new generation of moisture-permeable and waterproof fabrics that have innovative features using micro fibre technology and high-density fabric weaving technology.
The ultimate choice for durability and cargo. There are two 3 layer fabrics from knee to ankle and a 4-layer upper. The multi-purpose front has a kangaroo pocket, two zip pockets, and a material strap for biceps or nippers to serve anglers travelling light. People have started to take off their fly vests...
Waterproof zipper - Riri Storm™ The Radipor and the Extreme waders have a Storm™ waterproof front zipper for ultimate comfort. This makes getting in and out of the wader much easier as well as being handy when nature calls! They are guaranteed to be waterproof and made in Switzerland by RIRI®.
NoSeam™ leg cut All Vision waders have our developed NoSeam™ leg cut that totally eliminates critical vertical seams in the lower leg part. This cut also keeps most of the loose fabric outside the leg instead of having it inside which makes these waders twice as hardwearing.

RUBBER SOLES IN WADING SHOES Stealth Amphibia® replaces and improves upon recent rubber and felt sole technology. Amphibia’s high friction properties outperform other sole materials with significantly better traction on wet rocks, slippery mud and moss, and on hidden algae-covered rocks. Stealth Amphibia® rubber also provides traction on land and in water, giving the freedom to wear the same pair of boots all day. The rubber provides the advantage of a quick-cleaning sole from which dirt easily washes away. This is especially important for river eco-systems that suffer from fishermen’s felt soles housing bacteria and spreading it from one stream to the next. Made in USA.

Grey lenses transmit all the colours of the spectrum so there is little distortion. Grey photochromic gives lenses the best ability to adapt to variable conditions. Unlike yellow eyewear they work well in darker conditions too. This is why we recommend grey lenses as our first choice. With a blue mirror finish this lens is at its best on the sunniest days and for offshore use.

x-spider Polarflite™ lens colours The lens colour determines how much light will pass through a lens. To keep vision optimal you need less light in sunny conditions and more in cloudy weather. Yellow These lenses actually work as light enhancers. Good for dusk and low light as well as for overcast days and evenings. Brown A superb all-round constant density lens. It provides the best combination of true colour transmission and contrast. The optimal performance is achieved in medium bright to bright conditions.

2by4 Our Polarflite shades include a wide collection of frames with active tri-acetate cellulose lenses. They give 100% protection from UVA-, UVB- and UVC light. They effectively block both visible light and the light reflected from water surface reducing the aligned, partially polarized glare. They are finished with hard coat scratch- resistant surface. These lenses will not absorb haze and will stay constant with a low haze value of 0,4%. A perfect choice for all-round shades. These standard polarized plastic lenses have all the optical qualities needed for fishing. They are also very light. The 2by4 is designed to be worn with the glasses. Pouch included. Made in France.

wing & strike
When you fish with longer leaders the strike indicator has to be able to go through the guides on your rod. In this case use Wing & Strike. Indicators made of this special material are absolutely the best, as they absorb no water at all. It is simply impossible to get them soaked. As our material is also relatively stiff it works perfectly with larger dry fly wings too. Colours: White, black, fl. green, fl. orange, brown, pink and yellow V9496
StrikeRight indicators are 30% lighter than other foam indicators, so they float higher and are easier to see and cast. Because they are aerodynamically shaped at both ends, they cause less wind resistance when casting. StrikeRight indicators are easy to apply and remove, and they are reusable. Each package includes six pieces. Medium. 9511 Small. 9512
