ORVIS CLEARWATER II FLY REEL : 4-6WT
The Orvis Clearwater II Fly Reel may be the best reel in price and construction than any other reel on the market. Finally, a cast aluminum large arbor fly fishing reel that is lightweight enough to balance properly with your favorite fly rod and truly the best value fly reel around. Two years in design and development and with a powerful inline, Rulon to stainless, stacked disc drag that can hold its own with high-performance machined reels, the all new Clearwater Large Arbor costs significantly less than its machined cousins, but has not only the looks, but the guts of a higher-priced reel.
Easily converted to either left or right-hand retrieve, Clearwater fly reels have a positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time. Whether you're looking for your first large arbor, fishing on a budget, or want a spare or two in the bag, the new Clearwater Large Arbor can handle anything a machined reel can, and completely changes the game in die cast reels. Orvis Clearwater is a perfect choice for an affordable reel with a excellent drag system.
REEL FEATURES:
Attractive cast aluminum frame and spool
Large arbor for fast line retrieval
Powerful Rulon to stainless stacked disc drag system
Easily converted to either left or right-hand retrieve
Positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time
ORVIS CLEARWATER FLOATING FLY LINE
Orvis Clearwater WF floating fly lines are built a half-size heavier to provide extra help loading the rod, casting larger flies, and handling the wind. A compact head helps to transfer energy more efficiently, load the rod in close, throw tighter loops, and turn over flies. This is the perfect choice for the newer fly fisher or those anglers that don't mind making casting a little bit easier. Clearwater lines feature Integrated Slickness Technology to shoot line further and have a front welded loop for quick rigging changes.
LINE FEATURES:
Designed to make effortless casts and throw tight loops
Built a half-size heavy to help load the rod
Compact head turns over larger flies
Built with Integrated Slickness—a patented additive for reduced friction
Perfect little rod for slaying brookies in mountain streams! If I would change anything it would be the line.

Good Upgrade from Encounter

I recently bought this rod and was very happy to see how it performed for a 3 day long backpacking trip on the Olympic Peninsula. It held up well and I was able to maneuver down into tight streams and still get a good cast off. Not sure I totally understand why a 3 wt needs a drag system on the reel - could lose the drag and become a lighter set up. But overall I am happy with my purchase and it is worlds better than the Encounter.

Started with the Orvis Encounter. Then got this. WAAAAY better. Love this setup. Bought my son the same rod, but went with a Battenkill Disc 1 from a Orvis store this weekend. He loves it.

Wow I ordered the Orvis 3wt Clearwater combo and the backing fly line and leader were assembled and ready to fish. I just need to add a fly and I was hooked up with a brown and soon after a rainbow.

I initially had purchased an Orvis Encounter 5wt-8'6". While it wasn't the end of the world to learn on, this 3wt-7'6" is much, much easier to handle. Very easy to maneuver. Seems to be a high quality set up, while not having to spend a grand on it. $300-$500 is a perfect price point for these set ups. I'll probably move on up to a Hydros reel and Clearwater 5wt rod to replace my Encounter. Great Price, Great Quality.

Purchased this fly rod for small stream fishing. The action of this rod is perfect for nymphing in tight stream fishing conditions. This outfit was set up completely. Just put it together and everything is there for you to tie your flies on and be ready to fish!
