Douglas Upstream Series Fly Rod
The Douglas Upstream Fly Rod Series brings eight unique, ultra-lite fly rods to the game — each designed with a minimum, high-function approach built for bush and upcountry fishing environments. Striking the balance between close casting authority and delicate presentation, the Upstream Series excels where other rods fall short.
Finished with a natural Tonkin Bamboo colorway, matte clear wraps, cork cap, and minimalistic sliding ring reel seats, these rods are as beautiful as they are functional. Every rod ships in a lightweight 1⅝" brushed aluminum rod tube with sock.
