The Perfect Small Stream Rod

You know two things about fly fishing: you don't have any fly fishing equipment and you don't plan on fishing big, open rivers any time soon. You've come to the right page. The Orvis Encounter 8' 6" 5 Weight Fly Rod Outfit is an all-in-one solution to get you fishing smaller, out of the way gems without the hassle of spending hours on the internet, figuring out which reels match which rods. The eight-and-a-half foot length is slightly smaller than the typical fly rod, making it ideal for picking apart tight cover in smaller trout streams. A medium-fast action offers plenty of performance, without making the casting learning curve too high, meaning you can use this rod for years to come. Paired with a perfectly matched reel, line, backing, and leader, the only reason you'll need to stop by the fly shop is to get the low-down from the locals and grab a few bugs.
