7’6” · 3-Weight · 3-Piece · Bamboo Ferrules
The Tributary was built for creeks that don’t give you room to think. Brush, broken banks, tight seams—this rod loads fast and delivers clean loops when there’s no backcast and no forgiveness.
Short casts, roll casts, quick shots under limbs—this taper stays alive in close and keeps control when your footing is bad and the water is moving fast. Bamboo ferrules keep the bend honest and continuous, even when the cast is improvised.
Small Water - Real Control.

8’ · 4-Weight · 3-Piece · Bamboo Ferrules
The High Country is built for anglers who don’t stop when the road does. Originally designed for my son—the kind of guy who pushes the extremes on every trail he roams—this rod reflects that same spirit.
Hollowed in the butt and mid to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, and finished with a swelled butt for added backbone when wind, current, or fish push back, this rod carries easily and fishes hard. Everyone who picks it up has a hard time putting it down.
Bamboo ferrules keep the bend clean—no hinge points, no soft spots—making it dependable for roll casts, uneven footing, and long days far from help.
Proven in the Weminuche Wilderness and nicknamed the Rio Grande Cuttie, this rod was made to be strapped to a pack, dragged through timber, and trusted when you’re fully committed.
Built for the Long Way In.

The Mainstream is the rod you fish when you don’t know what the day is going to throw at you. Wind, broken water, heavy fish—it handles all of it without asking for special treatment.
It roll casts clean, drives line when the breeze comes up, and leans hard when a good fish digs in. It’s been down the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and came through when it mattered. Not flashy. Not fragile. Just ready.
One Rod. Any Day

8’ · 6-Weight · 3-Piece · Bamboo Ferrules
The Black Canyon is a rod for places where mistakes cost fish. Built to throw big flies hard and straight, it puts power on demand and holds it when the current and the fish push back.
Tested during the salmon fly hatch in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, this rod puts flies where they have to land—right in pockets, under ledges, and tight to canyon walls. Great for big streamers as well. There’s no room for softness here.
Big Flies. Tight Windows. No Excuses.
