The New 2019 Orvis Clearwater 4-Weight 10'0" Fly Rod is the perfect choice for euro nymph style fishing, high-sticking, mending line, and casting longer distances to deliver dry flies precisely on target. This Orvis Clearwater provides the delicacy and precision of a higher priced premium rod. When nymphing and longer distance dry fly fishing is required, the smooth medium action Clearwater 104-4 answers with all the performance, casting pleasure, and feel you would expect from an Orvis designed rod.
The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It's still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.
FEATURES:
10'0" 4-weight perfect for all nymphing and dry fly fishing styles
Blanks are black chrome with white accents
Quick rod identifier on the blank
Chrome snake and stripping guide with a ceramic insert
Full black nickel aluminum reel seats
Rods with fighting butts have composite tips for durability
Two-handed rods have composite on the tip of the foregrip
Upon opening the rod and putting my reel on it went into the back yard to make a few cast. Which was effortless to cast 60’ with just the line and leader. On the 3rd back cast the second section from the tip snapped. Disappointed at first. Called customer service and WOW. They have a new one in the mail that day with a return for the broken one. Now that’s the way you do things right. So this review is more about customer service than the rod. Thanks

I purchased my Orvis Recon on sale, (last years model) for a great price. Excellent quality, The Recon came highly recommended at this price point and I am not disapointed with my purchase. The Recon works great for the type of fishing I do. I usually fish Chironomids with a strike indicator in the still waters of Washington State. The 3 wt is a little lighter than I usually use but lots of fun.

For years I have fished chiromids with a 10 ft 5 wt rod in still waters.
I wanted to try a lighter weight rod and the staff at REELFLYROD suggested the Orvis Clearwater. I purchased one and recently had the chance to fish it. What a blast! the lighter weight works great on all but the windiest days. Thanks Guys
