We have lots of very cool outlets around the world and one of our absolute favourites is HRH Fishing Hebeisen in Switzerland.

These guys have really got behind us and the Epic range, they are great to deal with, very supportive and a lot of fun.

Here are a few picks of Mark demoing an Epic 686 out back at a recent Epic night at the store. Many thanks to our buddy Oliver over at the International Hobbyist for firing off the pics!

If you are in Switzerland and want to take a closer look at an Epic, go see the boys at Hebeisen's - Thanks Guys!

We told you they are tough.

Fly fishing and certainly fly casting is most certainly the sport of exceptions and in order to attempt to explain anything in fly casting you tend to have to generalise -and that’s what i’m about to do.
