The Douglas Upstream Ultra-Lite Fly Rod gives small-water trout anglers a classic cane-inspired feel with the efficiency and sensitivity of a modern graphite blank, creating a medium-slow action that protects light tippets and excels inside 30 feet on tight blue lines, mountain creeks, and spring-fed tributaries. The rod's traditional character pairs perfectly with close-quarters dry fly work for brook trout, wild browns, and stalking pocket-water rainbows, offering the finesse needed for soft landings and short-range accuracy. Traditional stripping guides and simple snake guides keep weight low and line flow clean, while the all-cork handle with slide rings adds a timeless touch and secure reel fit for long days of quiet, technical fishing. Graphite blank with classic cane-style feel and medium-slow action Optimized for delicate small-water presentations inside 30 feet Traditional stripping guides sized for lighter fly lines Classic snake guides supporting smooth line flow and low weight All-cork handle with slide rings for secure, traditional reel mounting Comes in a durable aluminum rod tube with a rod sock for increased protection Manufacturer's lifetime warranty
