This year marks the 12th Sandy River 'Clave. To
our knowledge, The Sandy River Spey Clave is the largest gathering of Spey Casters in the
Western Hemisphere. All of the best Spey Tackle manufacturers are
there. The top Spey Casters in the Pacific Northwest will give
On-The-Water Presentations and will act as your personal instructors
during Friday's FREE Beginner's . This year the Sandy River Spey Clave is totally integrated. Instead of "Ladies Day" on Friday, as in the past three Spey Claves, Friday has turned into "Beginner's Day", which focuses on introducing new anglers into the sport of Spey Fishing. Male and female Instructors/Presenters will mixed into all three days of the scheduled on-the-water programs. Free Catered Food has been added for lunch all three days. There will be a free booklet on “Spey casting tackle and techniques” and there is a no charge casting school at the 'Clave on Friday. We are all members of the “Spey Community.” The essence of the Sandy River Spey 'Clave is as much social as it is educational. See you there, friends. More info... |

G. Loomis took a page from their NRX blank technology to develop
a new series of fly rods that "new-to-the-sport" and
intermediate fly-fishers will learn to appreciate and expert
anglers will wonder how this much performance gets packed into
such an affordable package. A new taper design along with a
noticeable weight-reduction in the upper half of the blank
allows G. Loomis to make a fly rod series that is incredibly
light, recovers quickly and casts with unbelievable precision.
It's the G .Loomis way... reduce as much weight as possible,
take total advantage of the materials and create a taper that is
dynamic, efficient and user-friendly. PRO4x rods are as
beautiful to look at as they are easy to cast. They come in all
the right sizes to fit fisheries a widely diverse as spring
creeks, farm ponds, black bass, steelhead, salmon and saltwater.
These are rods any fly-fisher would be proud to own!! Have us equip your new PRO4x rods with the highest quality lines available. Be ready for anything! Ship your reels, or buy new ones and we will load each one up with your new PRO4x Promo Fly Line and just the right amount of the right kind of backing (AT NO EXTRA CHARGE). The fly lines listed below are the best match for each rod model. |

When the conditions call for small flys, light
lines and a stealthy approach, this little 8-foot beauty is just
what the doctor ordered! Made to order for small creeks and
streams where you don't need to cast a long ways, this rod will
make even the smallest trout seem like a monster! |

Sometimes the small streams hold big surprises and you need a
little more beef in a short rod. This 8-foot, 4-weight will
handle larger trout and panfish, no problem and It's great for
fishing brush-lined creeks where you need to make short,
accurate casts to be successful. FREE RIO GOLD FLY LINE INCLUDED |

A longer 4-weight for fishing small dry flies and nymphs on
bigger streams and lakes. The tip is soft enough to protect
light tippets and still handle large fish. There's a subtle
power in the lower half of the rod that helps you make longer
casts and cover more water. FREE RIO GOLD FLY LINE INCLUDED |

The best all-around
size for trout on rivers, small streams and still-waters, this
is a delightful casting rod with sufficient power for long-range
casts yet it's still light enough to enjoy even the smaller
fish. Will fish sink-tip lines and full-sink lines, no problem,
but more suited to a floater. |

This rod is the best
choice for fishing windy conditions. It's slightly more powerful
than it's 5-weight counterpart and that makes it a good choice
for fishing streamers, large dries and bigger nymphs. It has
enough power to handle large fish and provides positive line
control at all distances. |

The beginning of the
saltwater tapers, this 8-weight gives you excellent distance,
accuracy and fish-fighting power. It will handle larger flies
and windy conditions. It has all the attributes of the GLX and
standard CrossCurrent rods for light saltwater applications |

When the fish get
bigger and the wind becomes more of an issue, this is a rod
you'll appreciate in light saltwater fisheries. It's fast taper
provides extended casting range and it's powerful butt-section
helps launch large flies and handle larger fish. A great choice
for permit and redfish. |

Large permit, small
tarpon, big snook… you name it, this rod will handle them all.
When those big fish do everything they can to get back into the
protection of their cover or habitat, this rod will tell them
"no". It's an exceptional big fish rod, but the biggest
advantage is the light weigh |

A delightful
big-water, big trout fly rod. A good choice for float-tubes,
pontoon boats, canoe or kayak. It's an excellent choice for
summer-run steelhead and the smaller salmon species, especially
in low, clear-water conditions. A great rod for the Klamath, the
Grand Ronde or the John Day! |

This is a great rod
for fishing the small to mid-sized steelhead rivers where long
casts are the rule and fish control is a matter of "hanging on".
It's a fun rod for summer-run steelhead, silvers, sockeye and
chums… maybe an occasional small king as long as the water isn't
too heavy. |

An excellent choice
for big water, big steelhead and king salmon. It has all the
power you need to handle large flies and full sink lines and
shooting heads. It will double nicely for stripers and blues if
you're into wading the flats. Lots of line in the air? Not a
problem with this powerful yet light rod. |
