Experts agree that catching a fish requires a good selection of tackle, and if that fails, a pet seal. Snag some sea-life with today's Groupon: for $29, you get $60 worth of fly-fishing equipment, apparel, and accessories at Uptown Anglers.
With an extensive selection of tackle, clothing, and other essential bits of fly-fishing equipment, Uptown Anglers thoroughly outfits fisherpeople with all the requisite gear. Wading waist-deep through swift waters to hook scaly sea monsters requires not only nerves of steel and a belt with a retractable anchor, but also the cozy WaderWick black fleece pants from Simms ($49.95) and an arsenal of attractive bait and lines. Dozens of feathery saltwater flies ($3.95+) dangling from Sage, Orvis, and Winston rods ($150+) tempt fish with vibrant colors and patterns that mimic tasty minnows, shrimp, and crab. Piles of tackle and Leviathan bait can be neatly sorted into any number of compartmented bags and boxes.
