Best Fly Rods for Your Spring Trip

As Spring approaches, we are seeing our calendars fill with plans for our next fishing trip. We dream of the record breaker that we could hunt down. We talk with our favorite group of fellow outdoorsman about trips gone by. Then we start planning and packing our best fly fishing gear.

Waders, Check. Dry flies and nymphs, check. Beer, check. What about that fly rod? Beginning to wonder if you need a new 2013 option? Maybe you need a softer more sensitive fly rod for a small stream in Wisconsin. Maybe you are looking for a better salt water fly rod…

Let us help! We have selected a top 5 list of fly fishing rods from our website that you can consider. These are just some of our selection. And, we carry everything else as well!

#4 Scott S4s Fly Rod

F2 rods are about getting the most from your small stream fishing by using the right tools for the job. These rods form precise accurate casts with just a few feet of line and the leader, are great for underhand and bow and arrow casts, and load deeply under the pull of small fish, transmitting tons of feel. Improve your success and enjoyment on small water with the new Scott F2. $625

As Norman narrated in A River Runs Through It;

In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing.
