Ross F1 Fly Reel Series (Fly Line Included)

Ross F1 Fly Reel Series (Fly Line Included)

Ross F1 fly reel series is destined to revolutionize modern fly reel design. The F1 is a complete departure from conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any fly reel today. Inspired by the break system utilized in Formula 1 race cars, the F1 is an integration of carbon fiber and stainless steel; utilizing eight independent contact points to produce the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today. Two square inches of carbon fiber drag surface results in unsurpassed stopping power and heat dissipation. The spool fits to a carbon fiber stabilizer which utilizing two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings to provide precision fit and smooth rotation. The F1 employs a Ross original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve conversion without removing the bearing- an industry first! The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer, handle and spool release provide system strength and rigidity, while reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The entire system is controlled by a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.

Venice Redfish Lodge, Fly Fishing

Venice Redfish Lodge, Fly Fishing

In April of 2011 the Platte River Fly Shop will be hosting a 5 night / 4 days of fishing trip to Venice Redfish Lodge in Louisiana. For those that have joined us in the past to the Laguna Madre in Texas, you know how fun it is fly fishing for redfish on flats. Add Black Drum, Sea Trout, Sheeps Head, Flounder and maybe even a Tarpon gives you have quit a few species to cast to. We've moved the trip over to Venice, Louisiana this next year with the hope of catching even larger bull reds. We also picked fishing dates to coincide with the new moon. As of August of 2010 the BP Oil Spill has not had an adverse affect on fishing in the Louisiana Marsh. The owner told me, "everyone has been scared away by the media and fishing is actually better". Please visit the Venice Fishing Lodge website (or go to their Facebook page) to watch videos, check out the fishing reports, photos and other information.

Temple Fork Outfitters Two Handed Rods - Spey TFO

The modern TFO two handed rod has evolved into a much more versatile fishing tool than the Scots of long ago had in mind when they fashioned rods made of Greenheart wood of up to 20 feet long. Today the two handed rod is not only used in the tradition of Spey casting for Atlantic salmon, but there are several very specific applications, as well. The 11' 5 convertible rod comes with a a standard fighting butt and a removable two handed extension for extreme versatility on the water. Skagit casting has proven to be a very effective method for taking steelhead. The lighter, shorter two handed Skagit rods are perfect for pursuing trout and for overhead applications such as casting from jetties or wading the surf.

Roller coaster high waves and bowling ball slick jetties are the normal playing fields for increasing numbers of shore-bound fly fishers. The challenge of delivering a fly the required distance under conditions like these can prove practically impossible with traditional single-handed fly rods. This is where TFO’s double-handed Scandinavian rods will help you rise to the occasion. Mate these rods to an appropriate shooting head and you’ll find that the powerful butt in conjunction with the responsive tip section will enable you to launch long distance presentations and cover stretches of water simply not possible with single-handed sticks. If your quarry calls for you to move a bit inland, our Scandinavian rods will serve you equally well executing effortless Skagit casts in fast moving river currents. Two diverse applications, one great rod lineup: the hallmark of TFO’s Scandinavian Rods.

Our Professional Series two handed rods are medium fast action rods available from an 11' 5 wt. to a 15' 10 wt. They feature aluminum oxide stripping guides and come with cordura covered PVC rod cases.
