The Clearwater Fly Rod continues the legacy of this iconic length and line weight. Considered by many the perfect trout rod for many fly anglers this was the first model purchased. The legendary Superfine Orvis Henry's Fork rod was an 8'6 5-weight. It offers a versatile length that's at home on large or small water a line weight that allows for the enjoyment of small trout and yet can handle large trout and light bass with ease.
