Orvis Clearwater Fly Rods
The Orvis Clearwater Fly Rod series brings performance, versatility, and value together in a way few rods can match. Designed in Vermont and built for anglers of every skill level, the Clearwater delivers smooth energy transfer, excellent feedback, and dependable accuracy across a wide range of fishing conditions. Whether you're casting tiny dries in tight quarters or punching large streamers through wind on big water, the Clearwater series offers a rod weight and length for nearly any species or setting—without the premium price tag.
Performance
With a medium-fast action built on a high-modulus graphite blank, the Clearwater provides a balanced blend of power and feel. It loads easily for short casts, offers the stability needed for long presentations, and supplies the responsiveness required for fishing dries, nymph rigs, or streamers. Chrome snake and stripper guides with ceramic inserts deliver smooth line flow for cleaner, more efficient casting. Available from 2-weight through 12-weight models, the Clearwater adapts seamlessly to everything from panfish and small trout to bonefish, pike, and tarpon. It’s a reliable performer for anglers who need one rod—or a full lineup—that can do it all.
Why We Use It
Clearwater rods are one of the best values in fly fishing—period. They cast beautifully, hold up under heavy use, and give newer anglers the high-quality experience they need to progress quickly. At the same time, their responsiveness and control make them favorites among seasoned anglers who want a dependable rod without the premium-price commitment. The broad range of sizes and lengths means there’s a Clearwater for almost any trip, and the 25-year Orvis Guarantee adds long-term confidence you rarely get at this price point.
