The Orvis Clearwater Fly Rod Series is widely regarded as the best value fly rod on the market — purpose-built for trout, bass, and freshwater fishing with performance that punches well above its price point. Available in a comprehensive range of weights and lengths for every fishing situation, from tight mountain brook trout streams to big Shenandoah River smallmouth bass water.
The Clearwater® Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It's still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.

The Clearwater 3-Weight 7'6" Fly Rod is an exceptional small stream rod that provides the delicacy and precision of a higher priced premium rod. When high mountain streams or spring creeks call, the medium action Clearwater 763-4 answers with all the performance, casting pleasure, and feel you would expect from an Orvis designed rod.
The Clearwater 5-Weight 9' Fly Rod is a standard for western rivers and bigger eastern water. Not only does it have the length to reach out and control drifts and the power to reach far banks, but the line weight to handle big trout.
The Clearwater 6-Weight 9' Fly Rod is a stout trout and light bass fly rod that can handle big, heavy streamers, big hair poppers, dropper setups, and nymph rigs with ease.
The Clearwater 7-Weight 9' Fly Rod is at home in a number of situations, from throwing heavy streamers and nymphs to large trout, to casting big poppers in the rivers for big bass. I personally use a 7-weight for all of my bass fishing on the Shenandoah River.
