With faster action rods making a comeback in recent years, we knew we needed a new staple rod for our lineup that was souped up, faster in action and rugged both in aesthetic and performance. We immediately found inspiration for this one from some of the more rustic and natural corners of Maine and The Fish River screams all these things and more. We’re in love with the color palette inspired by the native Salmon salar Sebago, (aka, the Landlocked Salmon) from these water systems, finished with a bit of a river camo vibe. We delivered with this one.
This batch has been coined in the shop as our “hunter” rod, due to its rugged design, high performance and absolute dependability in any condition. Whether you are nymphing, slinging streamers, or dropping dries on a dime from your buddy’s drift boat, the Fish River delivers!
EFFECTIVE 11/1/2025- The 2026 Fish River has been fully refined for next-level performance. We’ve upgraded it with our new slow-growth European cork grips, built from ultra-dense, thin-cut cork that eliminates filler for a smoother, stronger, more natural feel. It’s lighter in hand, transmits more sensitivity, and lasts longer than traditional cork.
We’ve also fitted it with New England–made Recoil guides, built from a high-memory alloy that flexes, rebounds, and never bends out of shape. The result? Longer casts, cleaner line flow, and unmatched durability — whether you’re chasing trout in tight quarters or covering big water.
A small change that makes a big difference, this version of the Fish River delivers a more responsive, balanced, and connected feel — a rod that fishes far above its price point and is built to last a lifetime.
