SKY G SERIES

“The Douglas Sky G is astounding. I’ve been fly fishing for more than 50 years and own more fly rods than I care to admit. I’ve thrown just about every brand rod there is, but I’ve never used a rod that has the characteristics that this one has. I can carry a ridiculous amount of line in the air and reach long distances effortlessly. It is a joy to fish.”

““Most telling and significant gauge for the legitimacy of the Upstream was the fact that I forgot I was using it. The fact that I was using a practically weightless rod didn’t cross my mind. I was thinking about where the brook trout would be, concentrating on being stealthy, and how good it was to be out on the water. I slipped into full-on fishing mode.”

Matthew, Casting Across Podcast

““It’s a little bit like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. There are a lot of rods out there that are fast, ultrafast, mega-fast, etc. There are not as many rods that are right in the middle, just right. This action really hits the mark when fishing spooky trout where delicate presentations are a must.”

UPSTREAM PLUS SERIES

Saltwater Rods

Fast-moving targets with explosive power and challenging environments are the standard in saltwater fly fishing. At the moment of truth, you demand the most from your equipment.

Douglas fly rods are designed with the most advanced components and materials to defy the elements and keep you focused on fishing. Our heavily-tested, guide-approved fly rods set the new standards in performance and value on the water.

SALTWATER RODS

nymphing Rods

With fly fishing tactics constantly changing to meet the demands of the world’s most competitive environments, the rods used to master these specialized techniques must evolve too. Without compromise, every Douglas nymphing rod brings the angler the most advanced combinations of balance, control and sensitivity.

Light tips load effortlessly at short ranges to accurately place weighted fly rigs into the current and manage drifts with pinpoint accuracy. Douglas’ proprietary carbons and nano-resins transmit every bounce and tumble of the flies until the angler intuitively detects the strike.

The iconic Richard Wheatley fly boxes with the signature Douglas logo. Available in either dual-foam lids or foam lid with 8 to 10 compartments in the base. The compartments are spring loaded and tested in the Wheatley workshop before being packaged for delivery.

Individually hand-painted fly rod tubes are the perfect addition to your fly fishing gear. Functional art designed to protect your fly rod— they are an ode to the trout that fill our rivers and streams. Doubles as a special and unique gift for the angler in your life.
