“
“The Douglas Sky G is astounding. I’ve been fly fishing for over 50 years and own more fly rods than I care to admit. I’ve thrown just about every brand rod there is, but I’ve never used a rod that has the characteristics that this one has. I can carry a ridiculous amount of line in the air and reach long distances effortlessly. It is a joy to fish.” Dave Townsend, NY

“It’s a little bit like the story of Goldy Locks and the Three Bears. There are a lot of rods out there that are fast, ultrafast, mega fast, etc. There are not as many rods that are right in the middle, just right. This action really hits the mark when fishing spooky trout where a delicate presentations are a must.” Yellowstone Angler

“
“Most telling and significant gauge for the legitimacy of the Upstream was the fact that I forgot I was using it. The fact that I was using a practically weightless rod didn’t cross my mind. I was thinking about where the brook trout would be, concentrating on being stealthy, and how good it was to be out on the water. I slipped into fullon fishing mode.” Matthew, Casting Across Podcast

nymphing Rods With fly fishing tactics constantly changing to meet the demands of the world’s most competitive environments, the rods used to master these specialized techniques must evolve too. Without compromise, every Douglas nymphing rod brings the angler the most advanced combinations of balance, control and sensitivity. Light tips load effortlessly at short ranges to accurately place weighted fly rigs into the current and manage drifts with pinpoint accuracy. Douglas’ proprietary carbons and nano-resins transmit every bounce and tumble of the flies until the angler intuitively detects the strike.

Excellence and conservation are the foundation upon which Douglas Outdoors was built. Conservation is at the forefront of anglers’ minds across the country – the responsibility to fight for our local waters to preserve and maintain a healthy fishery for generations to come. It was on the banks of the Salmon River, a river conservation victory pioneered by the Barclay family – founders of Douglas Outdoors, where the conversation began about starting a premium fishing tackle manufacturing company that focused on quality and performance. From the streamside conversations to working with industry leaders in design and engineering – Douglas Outdoors was formed. Within a few short years of producing rods, we started to make a lot of noise in the industry – winning several prestigious awards including Best Overall 5-Weight, Best Overall 6-Weight, and Best Mid-Priced 6-Weight in the world-renowned 5-Weight and 6-Weight Shootouts by Yellowstone Angler. We bring our commitment to quality and excellence into every rod we design– from our high-end rods to entry level. Each is designed to be the best rod inclass – backed by our incredible warranty. Beyond producing exceptional rods, we are committed to offering our customers and dealers with world-class customer service. We pride ourselves on the quality of service we provide as well as our efficiency in handling warranty items – getting anglers back on the water in a timely manner. We understand the impact that fishing has in the lives of anglers – that truly memorable experiences are made in nature and on the water. We are grateful to be able to play a role in these memories by helping connect anglers with the fish they are pursuing. Thank you for choosing Douglas Outdoors! We look forward to being a part of your fishing adventures – wherever they may be.
