“The average float angler in the States might walk five miles in a year. Here, we’re doing 10–15 kilometers a day.” — @chris_dore_nz In his 20 seasons of guiding over 100 days a year, Chris has probably seen more water than most anglers will see in a lifetime. That’s why New Zealand remains one of the best testing grounds in the world, and why guides like Chris are some of the toughest gear testers anywhere. He doesn’t try to like new gear. He lets it prove itself… then tries to destroy it... But after more than 60 days of guiding in the new Access Boot, it’s still standing. Lightweight. Grippy. Ready for another long trip tomorrow.
