Yellowstone angler Weight Rod Shootout 2020:

“The Orvis Clearwater is our best inexpensive Power rod. Orvis did a good job designing the tapers, as the medium-fast action feels just right to me. As such, the Orvis Clearwater is our favorite inexpensive Power Rod.

It’s hard to find a lot of fault in a rod that has decent performance and costs under two hundred bucks!

The craftsmanship is surprisingly good for the low price, and I felt the Clearwater performed better than Sage’s X and the Winston Alpha+, rods that are both at $900 or more!”

Clearwater 4-Weight 9' Fly Rod:

Strike the perfect balance between power and feel with the Clearwater 4-Weight 9' Fly Rod.

The Clearwater 4-Weight 9' Fly Rod is the perfect light-line rod for bigger water with the reach and power for longer casts, more line control in mending and nymphing, but still with the touch and light feel to present dry flies to a rising fish at distance and control the line for longer drifts. Excellent reach and line control for fishing smaller streamers across and down larger streams and rivers.

Long and powerful, yet light and responsive, the Clearwater 904-4 is a rod that will provide you with a remarkable fly rod return on investment.

Meandering streams and big water—tackle either with the Clearwater 5-Weight 8'6" Fly Rod.

The Clearwater 5-Weight 8'6" Fly Rod continues the legacy of this iconic length and line weight. Considered by many the perfect trout rod, for many fly anglers this was the first model purchased. The legendary Superfine Orvis Henry's Fork rod was an 8'6" 5-weight. It offers a versatile length that's at home on large or small water, a line weight that allows for the enjoyment of small trout and yet can handle large trout and light bass with ease.

Whether you're looking for versatility, a daily driver that hangs rigged and ready on the wall, or the one and only fly rod you own, the Clearwater 865-4 fills the wallet-friendly bill.

Not only does it have the length to reach out and control drifts and the power to reach far banks, but the line weight to handle big trout and light bass. Firing a big streamer up and across a big river and reaching out to mend the line and control the drift is right in this rod's wheelhouse.

Throwing big attractors with droppers, or big hoppers in the early fall is the perfect task for this rod. If big water and big flies are called for, then the Clearwater 905-4 is the weapon of choice at a price that will keep a lot of travel money in your pocket.

The Clearwater 906-4 has the backbone to do the job and then some. There are times when conditions call for big flies to catch big fish and this rod is designed for just that.
