Cortland Fly Rod

is often known as a fly line company; for over 100 years Cortland has been designing and manufacturing some of the industry’s top fishing lines. Cortland opened in 1915 and started making silk fishing lines. Later, in 1959, Cortland began to expand into fly fishing and the company played a large role in creating the spot we know and love today. Cortland has fought to keep its manufacturing in the U.S. over the years and prides itself on making high-performance lines and rods. What started as a line company has now expanded into the fly rod market, particularly in competition fly rods. Cortland makes both competition rods and competition nymph rods that are at the forefront of the competitive market. These well-designed tools have been fished all over the world in competitions and for fun.
