New in equipment

With trout season right around the corner, anglers -- and especially those who like to wade -- might want to check out one of the new waterproof cases built by Aquapac.

The cases come in a variety of sizes, some built to hold whatever you might throw in there and others designed particularly to hold cell phones and digital cameras.

Made of see-through vinyl, all of the models float, even when full. They also come with a detachable carry cord.
