Introducing the California Waters Series — a collection of handcrafted fly rods inspired by the diverse and legendary rivers of the Golden State. Each rod in this series is custom-built to reflect the unique character, flow, and fly-fishing experience of a specific California river, from the high-country freestones of the Sierra to the wild steelhead runs of the North Coast.

Every build in the series features:

• River-Specific Taper and Action: Tailored to match the conditions, species, and casting style ideal for each location

• Custom Aesthetics: Color wraps, engraved reel seats, and inlays inspired by the landscape, geology, and spirit of each river

• Premium Components: Flor-grade cork grips, Snake Brand or titanium guides, and your choice of premium reel seat hardware

• Handcrafted in California: Built one at a time in the Sierra foothills by a passionate angler and craftsman

Current featured models include:

• The Yuba 5wt: Fast action, crisp delivery, ideal for dry-dropper rigs and pocket water

• The Trinity 7wt: Smooth loading for swinging big flies to steelhead

• The Upper Sac 4wt: Medium-fast with finesse for tight-line nymphing and dries

• The Kern 6wt: Versatile and tough for freestone trout and high-flow conditions

Each rod comes with a river-specific build card, optional custom engraving, and a locally made rod sock and tube.

This is more than just a fly rod—it’s a tribute to the waters that shaped California fly fishing.
