The Douglas Upstream Fly Rod Series lineup from Douglas Outdoors brings eight unique, ultra-lite fly rods to the game. Each rod is designed to have a minimum, but high function approach to bush and upcountry fishing environments. The challenge of both close casting and designing a rod that will control your line, fly and catch with authority, is a balance that Upstream strikes with ease.
Each of these high modulus blanks are finished with cork cap, ring reel seats and a natural Tonkin Bamboo color way with clear wraps. A light weight 1 5/8” brushed aluminum rod tube and sock are included with each rod. Pick up a Douglas Upstream Fly Rod and you will want to get on the water and try this new approach to traditional light line angling!
I first became aware of the Douglas Upstream Series at George Anderson’s Shop in Livingston and saw some on the rack. I picked up the 8’8” 4 weight and it was love at first wiggle. It was the nice soft rod that I had been looking for. So I bought one and it immediately became my favorite rod of all time. It’s like a cane rod that weighs only 1.7 ounces. The dampening is perfect and it will cast the smoothest, wobble free line that you will ever see. It’s been the perfect rod for my favorite waters; Western Spring Creeks, the Cutthroat Streams of the Canadian Rockies, English Chalkstreams, or any small stream. When I let friends try it, including Tom McGuane and A.D. Maddox, they immediately bought one. I’ve cast hundreds or rods over the years and this rod has the “secret sauce” like no other. I love it so much, I bought a second one.
