Welcome to the Yellowstone Angler on-line fly shop catalog!

What makes Angler’s Image line clipper our all time favorite?  Simply their ability to stay sharp far, far longer than any other clippers we've ever used.  Nothing dulls clippers faster than cutting  large diameter 60-80 lb. fluorocarbon for tarpon leaders.  Most clippers last about a week.  These will easily last you two full seasons of  100 days of tarpon fishing - and still stay sharp!    They come with a sharp retractable needle, good for cleaning out the eyes of hooks, even down to very small hook sizes.   The D-ring at top is handy too for holding the hook of your fly while you tie a Homer Rhode loop knot or straighten out your tarpon leader.     

We started selling these at the register and they have taken the nipper world by storm.  They are cheap but well made and easy to grab.  The edge holds amost as well as our favorite nipper, from Angler's Image.

These stainless steel nippers have a nice non-slip rubber-like coating as well as a small protected needle at the rear of the clippers for cleaning out any head cement in the eye of your fly.  Try one,  you'll like it.

Talk about sharp!  In terms of cutting tippet, these are some of the best and most durable nippers on the market.  Unless you tie leaders for a living, these nippers should last you at least 3 years.  Comes with handy diamond hook file on one side to keep your hooks sharp.  .

This nipper has the same stainless steel cutting blades as the line clipper above but comes with a shorter needle that is non-retractable.  A great alterrnative if you can get by without the longer retractable needle.  Also, the blades can be easily re-sharpened with a fine diamond file or stone. 

Wide gripping area makes it easy to cut larger material quickly and easily. Same great steel that is found in other Orvis nippers. 

These nippers USED to be made for Orvis by Tiemco in Japan, using the finest steel available.  We've found the old Orvis nipper would hold an edge longer than most other clippers.  We're not sure where Orvis is getting their new nippers now, but we have noticed that they barely cut backing and the price is the same.  Orvis, please tell us that this is a temporary issue, as your old nippers were one of the best on the market.  We hope that you'll go back to your old supplier because no offense, but these new ones are dirt...
