Orvis Clearwater 907-4 Fly Rod Outfit | 9' 7-Weight Smallmouth & Largemouth Bass

The Orvis Clearwater 907-4 is a versatile 9' 7-weight fly rod outfit that we use regularly for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and other warmwater fishing. The medium-action rod loads easily and provides enough power to cast larger bass flies while remaining comfortable to cast throughout a full day on the water.

This is the same setup we frequently recommend for smallmouth bass fishing on the Shenandoah River. The 9' length provides good line control and mending ability, while the 7-weight has enough backbone to cast bass bugs, streamers, and crayfish patterns up to about size 4.

We also use these outfits in our Full Day Fly Fishing Schools on the Shenandoah River during the summer. We find the Clearwater 907-4 easy for students to cast while still providing the power needed for bass fishing in current.
