Upper Yuba River — Limited Edition Fly Rod

$870.00

Built to honor the wild trout and granite flows of the Sierra Nevada.

Introducing the Upper Yuba River — a handcrafted, limited-edition 9’ 5-weight fly rod built for the technical freestone waters of Northern California. Each rod in this series is numbered and signed, part of a one-time run of individually serialized builds made for anglers who value finesse, precision, and a tangible connection to place.

Crafted on a North Fork Composites LMX blank, this rod blends power with sensitivity, making it ideal for dry fly presentations, light nymphing, and small streamers. The fast-action taper offers tight loops and quick recovery—essential for tackling the dynamic currents and overhanging brush of the upper Yuba.

Signature Features:

  • 9’ 5wt LMX NFC blank in matte stealth finish

  • California buckeye burl reel seat with black nickel hardware

  • Reverse half wells grip in flor-grade cork

  • Custom thread wraps in forest green, burnt orange, and gold

  • Black nickel snake guides & agate stripping guide

  • No fighting butt for enhanced line feel and rod balance

  • Serial number laser-engraved above the grip

Each rod is a tribute to the Yuba watershed—a celebration of wild trout, high country air, and granite underfoot.
