Not long after we opened our doors, the phone rang. On the line was a gentleman from upstate New York, hunting for the perfect small-stream rod. When we asked what that meant to him, his wish list was clear: a 2- or 3-weight, nimble enough for tight quarters, and built to chase native brook trout in those secret, moss-lined waters.
We went to work, dialing in a moderate flex, trimming the length for precision in close, and weaving in a native brook trout theme from tip to butt. The result was the Little River—a rod so dialed for small streams that it quickly wandered far beyond them.
What started as one angler’s dream has become our best-selling rod, a must-have for anyone who believes the best adventures often come with cold water, tight casts, and fish that wear the colors of autumn leaves. From Maine brooks to far-off creeks, the Little River has earned a place in fly fishing packs across the globe.
