The Orvis Clearwater 9' 5-weight fly rod is one of the most versatile trout fly rods available and an excellent value for both beginning and experienced fly anglers. The 905-4 is an especially good choice for someone buying their first fly rod because it is easy to cast and versatile enough to continue using as your skills improve.
