DOUGLAS UPSTREAM FLY ROD

The TFO Pro 2 series is as versatile a series as it is a rod. With rod models that accommodate any style of angling, from 2wt through 10wt, TFO has truly built a series that has a rod for every situation. These rods are also caster friendly, forgiving, and hugely versatile on the water which makes them a fantastic rod for the novice angler. If you’re looking for an affordable fly rod that’ll help you progress as an angler, look no further.

The AETOS is Fenwick’s low-priced do-it-all freshwater fly rod. This rod was designed to be forgiving, caster friendly, and hugely versatile on the water. Fenwick succeeded in creating a rod with performance way above its price range. This rod is accurate at any distance out to 60 feet and one of our favorite trout rods on the market regardless of price. If you’re in the market for a new freshwater fly rod that caters to a wide range of angler ability and works well in any fishing scenario, consider the AETOS.

Douglas’ new addition to the Sky Series, the Sky G, features all-new technology for performance like we’ve never seen. G-Tec keeps the rod blank lightweight and incredibly strong while efficient componentry adds to the rod’s application-specific design. A beautiful reel seat gives the rod a trout-specific feel and easy functionality. This rod is made for the angler who targets trout from distance and needs pinpoint accuracy every time. That being said, the rod’s performance inside 45-feet is also stellar. This is one of the most high-performing, versatile fly rods on the market.

Scott changed the fly fishing industry for good in 1976 by introducing the first Scott G Series fly rods. The history of this moderate action series is truly iconic. Over 40 years later, the G Series has evolved with contemporary fly fishing and continues to encourage state-of-the-art medium action fly rod innovation. Scott’s ability to create smooth flexing rods that combine presentation and power sets the G Series apart. The G Series is lighter, stronger, more flexible, and more advanced than ever before. The G Series has stood the test of time and has continued to redefine modern innovation. Avid dry fly anglers across the globe are taking note.

The Orvis Battenkill click-and-pawl reels are a ‘minimalist’s dream’. These reels are made to provide the angler with a pure connection to the fish; not huge drag system or flashy design. These reels are traditional, classic, and ultralight. Made for the enthusiastic trout angler, the Battenkill keeps small-reel functionality without adding unnecessary design features that increase weight. While the reel is old-fashioned, it’s also contemporarily durable and is finished and built using top-notch fly reel technology. Orvis has always been progressive yet traditional and the Battenkill is a prime example of that history.
