Freshwater Fly Rods

Spare Tip Included

Quality, Economy & Performance We’ve spent 44 years building our reputation, THE FLY SHOP ’ S FRESH H 2 O FLY RODS were designed to and 14 of them building fly rods. allow both the veteran fly fisherman and the every day anglers the ability to Just like The Fly Shop®, deliver the fly accurately and without a lot of effort, while forgiving inadvertent mistakes that are common in the casting stroke. these rods deliver everything we promise! These models are a baby step away from the ultra-fast trend and a slight shift toward a smooth, forgiving action that doesn’t require a sophisticated, fine-tuned sense of timing to deliver flies and best suits most anglers. Our Fresh H2O rods began to take shape when we became disillusioned with the direction that the top brands in the sport were going with their fly rod actions - faster and faster rods that tossed a tight loop for a mile in the hands of an expert, but were inappropriate for the less than expert fly fisherman. At that point, we teamed up one of the top rod manufacturers in the business and developed our own Fresh H2O fly rods by simply reverse-engineering and duplicating the most popular graphite, angler-friendly action that has ever been used on a trout stream. We took our time, spending three years tinkering with and field-testing dozens of prototypes before we made our choices and allowed The Fly Shop® logo to be printed on the first, new, emerald-green blanks. Since then we’ve added subtle improvements each season to the graphite and components without changing the essential action or our model names. At the same time we’ve reduced, instead of increasing, our prices each year. The latest iteration of Fresh H2O rods are a marriage of modern graphite materials and design that compensate for common errors and a less than expert casting stroke. It’s a rod that loads with very little line beyond the tip, and still has the cojones to turn over a long leader or deliver distance. When you put this rod to the test, you’ll discover, as several thousand of our fly fishing customers have, that it’s equal to other famous branded fly rods out there, and carries a price tag that’s just a fraction of what is hanging on comparable quality fly rods. An extra tip at no extra charge! We’re fishermen here at The Fly Shop® and understand the logic of including an extra tip with every rod, at no extra charge. It’s a built-in guarantee that’ll keep you fishing on the stream instead of waiting for the UPS truck. We also include a practical, lined, segmented rod case with a zippered reel pouch instead of one more aluminum tube for your closet. Our Fresh H2O fly rod and reel outfits This is more than a terrific rod, and at that price it’s a great deal, without the expensive, hidden premium many rod makers charge for their lifetime guarantee. All five of our 2022 models are identically priced at $189. Our warranty is just another good deal. Our warranty Fresh H2O and Signature Series rods are fully warranteed by The Fly Shop®. In fact, we’re very proud of our battle-tested, high performance rods. After 15 years in the hands of all skill levels of fly fishermens there’s been an almost insignificant failure rate. But rods are going to be broken, and we don’t care how they break. We’ll replace any section, on any of our rods for the original purchaser, charging no more than $35 plus $11.95 for shipping. Just send us what’s left of the entire rod along with your return address and a check or credit card number. We’ll do our part and try to get the rod started on its way back to you the very next day.

Combining an M2A fly reel and a Fresh H2O fly rod is the ultimate in economy! The emphasis is on performance and functionality, and this outfit will meet the demands of just about any freshwater fishing situation. It’s the ideal combination for the cost-conscious angler or someone new to the sport.

The Hat Creek & Fall River models are both ninefoot, 4 and 5 weight rods that are just right for most freshwater rivers, streams and stillwater situations. They have enough muscle to cover broad, western spring creeks and employ the very “forgiving” actions that naturally open up the loop, help turn over long leaders, and have exactly the kind of action that will deliver dry flies and smaller nymphs accurately in all but the worst of winds. Our Sacramento River rod is a 6 weight, and the best all ‘round nymph and dry fly rod in the line up. This model is powerful enough for streamers, yet delicate enough for most dry fly fishing.

The Trinity & Mad River models are virtual wrist rockets with powerful actions and enough muscle to make tossing a tight loop to the horizon a lot easier. Both rods have fighting butts.

Signature Series H2O Fly Rods

Signature H2O rods for the anglers who have dialed in their casting stroke

THESE HANDSOME RODS employ a more expensive, higher modulus graphite than our Fresh H2O models (featured on pages 10-11). Those differences translate into a fly rod with a moderately faster action that’s better matched for experienced anglers who have a more refined, practiced, casting skills. These high performance rods employ what was once called “reserve power” – a resilience that’ll drive the line a little farther, help toss the line into the teeth of a stiff wind, or handle a larger dry fly or big streamer when extra power is applied. All four of our Signature H2O fly rod models sport components that are a step up from our Fresh H2O fly rods. All of the Signature rods feature handsome Buckeye hardwood reel inserts and more expensive components than you’ll find on comparably-priced rods. They also feature a dark, non-glare finish that won’t spook fish.

“At only $289 this rod is in a class by itself. There isn’t another in it’s price range that can match the quality.

Signature Series H2O Indicator Rods

THE FLY SHOP ’ S indicator rod employs features that help make this style of fishing easier, much more fun, and a lot more productive. The rod is designed with a high modulus graphite to add the strength so it won’t buckle under the weight of a multi-fly rig. It has a strong tip, slightly softer center section, and powerful butt. All of this forces the rod to flex lower down the blank and automatically opens the loop – making indicator terminal tackle easy to toss without messing up or tangling.

Scott Rods are made in Montrose, Colorado

Selected by Fly Fisherman magazine Gear Award as the best new freshwater fly rod for 2021 – Scott Centric

Eric R. Schroeder photo

High performance freshwater fly rods

Scott’s new star-studded lineup includes the best freshwater fly rod they’ve ever made

Scott’s Centric series fly rods are the most efficient rods they have ever created. Flat, stable, high line speed loops that can be easily generated at any distance with minimal effort from the caster. And they’re still fun to cast! What Scott did to build the new Centric was first develop revolutionary new rolling equpment (the machines that turn flat sheets of graphite into rod blanks) to allow them to control graphite fiber placement and manipulate the density of material. Then Scott incorporated a new resin to precisely bond the increased density of the fibers, and simultaneously created a stronger, lighter, and more stable rod. The end result is the creation of four weights that cast like they should – light and delicate at close range, but with enough power buried in the rod to turn over long leaders and flies at exceptional distances. Perfect spring creek rods. Using the same logic and technology, they packed progressively more power into the Centric five, six, and seven weight freshwater models at exactly the points in each of these fantastic freshwater rod models where it’s necessary. Centric rods feature more than technology and are one of the top rods ever to grace a rod rack! The cork is absolutely excellent, and the components include slick titanium SiC stripping guides, custom burl box elder reel seat inserts and Scott’s patented Universal snake guides.

Scott’s G Series model dates back to 1976, the year Scott changed the market with the first-ever 9 foot 4 weight fly rod. The new G Series rods looks and acts a bit like the original model. Sensitive, but with an exponential elevation of performance and performance is what it’s all about. At the end of the day, the skilled craftsmen in Montrose have delivered a smooth-casting rod that may be the best trout fishing tool ever made.

High performance saltwater fly rods

Scott has developed an award-winning new generation of big game and saltwater fly rods!

SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES in fly fishing technology, whether it’s rods, reels, waders, fly lines, or clothing don’t happen very often. The advent of graphite was, of course, a great leap forward for the sport. Every move forward from that point – higher and higher modulus, boron fibers, nano resins, and other evolutions were baby steps in comparison. At this point it’s the creative application of already existing knowledge that usually makes headlines in fly fishing. So it was with Scott’s Carbon Web design and the creation of their Sector Fly Rods. It was the culmination of a series of small steps, new materials, tapers, and engineering that’s given saltwater anglers a reason to be excited! Scott’s Carbon Web technology improves torsional stability and rod durability by encasing unidirectional fibers in a web of ultra-light multi-directional carbon fiber. These fibers help counteract torsional forces giving you better tracking and power for long-line pickups and redirecting casts. They also help to reduce micro fractures from stress or impact. Expressed in English: These blanks are stonger, yet lighter, have more power, are more durable, and track better. With Carbon Web combined with ReAct, Scott has created a new kind of rod allowing the angler to hold more line in the air, lift more line off the water with less effort, and the ability to redirect a cast more easily when a fish is on the move.

The award-winning Sector saltwater fly rods

Scott’s goal with the Sector was to create the best saltwater & big game fly rod that’s ever been made. They began by bundling all of their technology into one model rod, then added the most cutting edge fly rod components imaginable. Imagine a rod that casts tight, high line speed loops with less effort and can turn over a leader straight into the wind; a rod that delivers the fly on target with just one false cast, and can pick it back up and redirect if the fish changes course; a rod that is intuitive so you can focus on the fish instead of your cast; a rod that feels light and alive in your hand and has the touch and feel needed to make short quick shots. We’ve used these rods this year in Mexico for bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook. We took them to Louisiana for redfish and to Alaska for silvers. They went with us to Bolivia for Dorado and to Brazil for tackle-busting, monster peacock. The Sector rods we used performed far better than we expected and, after all the hype, we expected a lot. And until Scott (or someone else) comes out with something better, it’s going to be the first fly rod we pack for the saltwater, the jungle, and any other big game fishing. s All Sector rods are fitted with the appropriate fighting butt extension s Reel seats are milled from aircraft aluminum with self-indexing slide hoods s CeRecoil stripping guides with nickel-titanium frames and Zirconia inserts s “Fluor” grade cork grips and a modified Wells grip s All of these rods are hand-crafted entirely in America!

Scott Sector Fly Rods stole the spotlight with awards for both Best Saltwater Fly Rod and overall Best of Show at the annual International Fly Tackle Dealer (IFTD 2019) show!

The brand is iconic, and nowhere in the fly fishing world is their reputation stronger than it is on the flats with saltwater fanatics. Hands down, SAGE is the first choice and often only choice made by veteran saltwater and big game fly rodders. And these two models are considered to be the finest saltwater fly rods they’ve ever made! And they’re made in the USA

Sage Salt HD

Each model is designed for specific saltwater situations There’s a lot of saltwater out there, lot’s of target fish species, and in the high stakes ‘one and done’ atmosphere of flats fishing, you’ll do a lot better with a tool built for the exact fishery and conditions you’ll be facing. So, each rod weight and length in the SALT HD lineup is constructed using the same graphite and technology but with a different, unique action.

Each of these rods are fine-tuned tools for saltwater situations

s 6–7 WT Skinny water / floating line / calm conditions / presentation quality Built for casting smaller, lighter flies and precision distance casting s 8 WT All-around light duty / floating & sinking lines / increased fish fighting The top choice for trophy bonefish, baby tarpon, snook, and redfish s 9 WT Permit / sinking lines / increased casting power for stiff winds and big flies s 10 WT Small tarpon & big permit / increased casting power for tossing big flies s 11 WT Tarpon / quick-loading for maximum line pickup and quick, accurate shots s 12 WT Flats edges & light bluewater / any variety of sinking & floating lines s 13-16 WT The ultimate fish fighting tools / intentionally short for casting off of crowded boats with incredible lifting power in the extended fighting butt

Sage’s Konnectic HD technology improves the transfer of energy from the loading point. So, these rods are stable, don’t ‘shudder’ and casts are accurate. These powerful fly rods will reach further, respond more quickly and delicately, help you deliver flies where they’re supposed to go, and catch more fish.

The Sage X-Rod

Truly great fly rods for all occasions and all anglers

The X rod’s fast action taper built with their Konnetic HD Technology delivers a new generation in rod blank recovery and a crisper tip stop – creating tight, efficient loops throughout all ranges of casting styles. This taper allows you to dig deeper into the rod and access the power closer to the lower command center. Then, decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank result in more accurate and more efficient presentation. It’s all the result of a performance driven, forgiving, fast action blank – refining the synergy between angler, the rod, the line, and the fly.

Tenkara Revolution

Ours is a sport limited by it’s resources. As they diminish our angling focus narrows and the obvious turn is, to small streams, small fish, and lighter tackle. We’re re-defining our pleasure and what makes a great day of fly fishing. That’s where Tenkara comes in!

THE JAPANESE DIDN ’ T invent fly fishing. Similar styles were used all over the world. But, in their small mountain streams they didn’t need long casts, and small fish make no long runs.So, there was no need to abandon traditional tackle after reels were invented. Instead they refined Tenkara. What remains is still only a rod with a line tied to the tip and a fly and, like many things Japanese, they do a great job of marrying technology, and tradition. Modern Tenkara rods are made of high modulus graphite, lighter and stronger than the bamboo predecessors.They’re telescopic and extremely compact when collapsed. Fully extended, Tenkara rods range from 10 to 15 feet long. Latest Tenkara lines are furled, tapered, and made of high-tech materials. They’re lighter than the lightest fly lines New technology allows the angler to keep most of the line off the water, reducing drag and improving presentation.

Tenkara’s Teton Zoom

A new generation rod that adjusts to both 10.5 or 12 feet long., The Zoom is very responsive at short distances, but has more backbone and is able to handle large fish when fully extended. The higher modulus graphite used in its construction helps promote more precise casting at distances up to 20 feet.

WE ’ VE SELECTED four great packages to help you get started in the world of Tenkara. The differences are mostly length and action – how flexible they are and how appropriate they might be for where and how you plan to fish. Each package include a hand-crafted, single strand fly line and a 3mm. nickel alloy tippet ring. The lines are level, yet turn flies over as well or better than any mono lines made. The braided line is useful in the different types of water you’ll be faced with as you learn the sport. As Tenkara anglers move from spot to spot, they spool their line to keep it from snagging on branches or obstructions. The winding spools in our packages allow for simple and easy traveling to and between your fishing destinations. We’ve included three excellent, traditional. Tenkara-type flies to begin your journey, though proven flies appropriate for the destination are recommended.

Tenkara’s Sierra Rod

The lightest and shortest Tenkara rod in our line-up absolutely maximizes the pleasure you’ll get from small fish and tight, tiny streams. 10´ long, the Sierra is a sure bet for narrow, brush-lined streams. Tenkara’s Sawtooth Rod

These rods absolutely maximize the pleasure you’ll get from fish in the 6˝ to 16˝ range. There is a lot of play in this rod, what we call a 5:5 action that still qualifies as ultra-light. There are 9 telescopic sections and a swivel tip is to help keep your line from getting tangled. The colorful design is traditional Japanese.

Tenkara’s Rocky

Much more powerful than many Tenkara-type rods, the Rocky is built using very high modulus graphite and intended for carp, salmon, sea trout, and big fish. Fully extended, it’s 14´ 6˝ long with a swivel tip to minimize line tangle. The stronger, faster action handles bigger fish without sacrificing the ultra-light, Tenkara-style touch that makes this kind of fishing such fun.
