  • 25 year unconditional guarantee against breakage and workmanship. Unusual to see affordable rods like this having a full guarantee on them.
  • Quality Tapers - The tapers used on the Orvis clearwater fly rods are high quality, some of which are identical to that used on the Superfine series fly rods.
  • Excellent Value - As the angler improves their skills, they will not immediately out-grow this rod.

Who is the Orvis Clearwater Series Fly rod For?

Anglers who are new to the sport of fly fishing will enjoy the forgiving nature of the quality Orvis Clearwater Classic fly rods. They are perfect for the beginner angler, and will provide anyone new to the sport with a fly rod that will last for many years. But, unlike many entry level fly rods, the Clearwater Series will work well as the angler improves their abilities. In short, an angler will not immediately out-grow a Clearwater Series rod. Because of this, Clearwater rods provide a lot of value for the money spent.

Unsure of what type of fly rod to get? Then read our Buyers Guide to Fly Rods for helpful information on things to look for when shopping around for one.

Note : Here's how to decipher the product name below, so you know the specs of the fly rod just by the name. An example of a typical product name is : Orvis Clearwater II 795-2

The first two numbers, in this case 79, refer to the length of the rod. Thus, this rod is 7 feet, 9 inches long. The third number, 5, refers to the weight of the rod (what is fly rod weight?). And the final number after the dash, 2, refers to how many pieces the rod is.

So, a rod labelled Clearwater II 806-4, means the rod is eight feet long, is a 6 weight rod, and comes in 4 pieces. Simple, huh?
