Rods and Reels
 
Fly Rods - No other piece of fly fishing equipment receives more attention than the fly rod, and rightfully so.  Fly rods are the direct link between angler and fish.  Having the appropriate rod can make or break a fishing trip.  Here are the rods we fish with in Yellowstone county.
Winston Fly Rods
Winston Fly Rods.   We are one of the largest and oldest dealers for Winston rods and are proud to offer them to anglers fishing the Yellowstone area and beyond.  Often people ask us what rods we use for certain rivers, or techniques, or destinations and there are several models from Winston we would not be without.  In fact Craig is a member of the Winston Pro Staff.
Sage
Sage Fly Rods .   Like R.L. Winston, we carry a full compliment of Sage fly rods.  There are more Sage rods on the world's trout streams than any other, and with good reason.  Their consistent blend of high-tech materials and innovative design produces some of the best performing rods on the market.  You will notice that each of these rods are 4-piece models.  Sage's latest slim line ferrule technology is so smooth that you can't tell there are ferrules at all.  The 4-piece model is our pick because it can break into 2-pieces easily for storage in a boat case, and break down completely into a tube that is only 30" long.
Fly Reels - Whether you are trying to catch up to a Hebgen Lake gulper, or putting the stops to a screaming rainbow on the Madison, the fly reel is a vital piece of your fishing system  Here are the reels we think will work the best for you whether you are on the lakes and rivers of Yellowstone country or anywhere else in the world.
