"Fly Fish the World with Us"

New from Burkheimer - 2018/2019

A couple interesting additions from C.F. Burkheimer for the new year. 

C.F Burkheimer Single Hand Spey shown in Classic

Single Hand Spey

A couple years ago Burkie, (CF Burkheimer) introduce a line of rods called Single Hand Spey. It started out with a 7104-4 and 8104-4. New for 2019, 6104-4. All Single Hand Spey Rod models are 10'4" long and crafted in 4 piece versions now offered in a 6wt as well as the previous 7wt and 8wt.

Single handed spey tactics have come along ways especially since the short skagit evolution started by OPST Commando Heads and now extending into RIO, Airflo, and Scientific Anglers offerings as well.

Single Hand Spey Rods are ideal for small-ish water. It gives the angler versatility when space is at a minimum. If you already spey cast then single hand spey will come natural and if you are just learning to spey cast some find that process much easier when they are only learning the one hand approach instead of two hand. Single handed spey is fun, practical and will advance your overall fly casting tactics quiver of tricks.

Streamer

C.F Burkheimer Streamer shown in Titanium Finish

There are those who fish streamers then there are streamer anglers. No streamer angler is ever satisfied with any standard action fly rod. The demands of repetitive casting with large flies causes one to look for any advantage they can get from a specialized rod.

A couple years ago Burkie, introduce a line of rods simple called Streamer. The model started out with a 688-4 and 788-4. New for 2019, 888-4. All Streamer Rod models are 8'8" long and crafted in 4 piece versions.

There are a couple of advantages to keeping a streamer rod under 9 foot. Much of this angling is done from a drift boat therefore the shorter length help rod/boat management especially considering the fact that no streamer angler only shows up with one rod. Another advantage is a short lever. Basic physics tells us that the shorter the lever the easier it will be for one to control. This is an important function when fly size can push toward a whole small rabbit package and your muscle power must be maintained for the duration of the day.

In addition to length, the Streamer also employs an action that is all to its own. The taper is designed to move cargo efficiently. Aside from big streamers they are also quite capable with heavy nymphs, deer hair dries and large wind resistant poppers. The new 888-4 size pushes the extreme in fly size handling as well as trophy size handling.

Do you have streamers hanging from your rear view mirror? If yes, then you are the guy Burkheimer built these rods for.

Two Handed Spey 6139-4

One doesn't have to search hard to find some of the most sought after spey rods on the planet. We know it so well that attempt to keep pre-ordered custom, In-Stock, on hand, ready to ship, two handers all the time.

So why a 6139-4? We have the source that will fill you in on what you might find interesting about this length/power of a two hander. Read Cody's report on Burkheimer 6139-4 and Airflo Delts Spey II 6/7

Please keep in mind when buying a Burkie; Unless we have it in-stock, it is 99.9% likely to be a special order. Rods can takes several months from order date to ship date. Even we wait for the rods we have in stock. This is why we special order and stock some rods. Check often cause they don't stay around very long. See In-Stock Inventory here...

Tight Lines,
Greg

Redington Behemoth Fly Reels - New Color O.D. Green

O.D. Green (Olive Drab)

Every once in a while a product just seems to hit the win button with everyone. Since the Redington Behemoth Fly reels came out 2 years ago keeping them in stock has been a never ending chore.

Last year Redington gave us the New Behemoth in Desert color. Since introduce they've been in and out of stock continually.

New for 2019, New O.D. Green Color. As of this writing all sizes in stock. I wouldn't count on that for long.

What is it about these reels that hit the home run. Is it the Deep Large Arbor V-spool for backing capacity and high retrieve rate. Maybe it's the powerful carbon fiber drag system. A small feature but worth noting is the molded soft-touch ergonomic handle that is super grippy to crank on.

The Behemoth Reels also feature lifetime warranty and along with this new O.D. Green they also come in Desert, Gunmetal and Black colors.

Winston Fly Rod Special Buy

Immediate attention...

Hard to believe I'm making this announcement. R.L.Winston Fly Rod Company has decided to end production of the Boron IIIx and Boron III LS fly rod series. But the good news is I wouldn't be making this announcement if there wasn't already a successor in place. More on that below.

But first the Sale: 

Gorge Fly Shop has loaded up on the soon to be "legends of the past" fly rods for you to get one last chance to own one. The Boron III Fly Rods not only carried the tradition of Winston Feel but is also in fact responsible for the very definition of load, power and speed coming together to create one of the most graceful rods one could cast.

Boron IIIx rods had that great ability to take your casting skill to next level no matter what level you started from. Novice casters could feel the load, intermediate casters could excel quicker and professional casters could extract all the soul from tip to Boron butt section. In my opinion they really did define the Winston feel.

Boron III LS Fly Rods provided that same Winston Feel on a small stream, spring creek level. Designed for precise and delicate presentations and built with all the premium grade components and features as it's big bother.

While supplies last we have most sizes in stock of both models for deeply discounted prices. These are first quality rods exactly the way they've been built all along. Rods include logo rod sock and premium graphite tube as well as the Winston Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

Shop Winston Sale

So What's New:

Two all new rod series are in production over in Twin Bridges, Montana. The Winston Pure and the Winston Air Saltwater.

Starting with Winston Pure

It's so hard to put words into describing this new rod. I think the best definition of the Pure is a rod with True Winston Progressive Action that just feels magical in hand.

I could go on and on with words to describe but it just won't become reality until you witness Pure in hand for yourself.
Small stream, dry fly with moderate action for open loop presentations without ever feeling under powered is what this rod is about. Take your passion of delicate fishing to a new level with Pure.

Winston Saltwater Air

Starting with a little history, the Winston Freshwater Air came into play a couple years with the use of SuperSilica Nano Resin Technology. Lighter and faster while yet still progressive and smooth, the Freshwater Air is a lively and responsive fly rod series.

Building on the SuperSilica Technology Winston introduces Saltwater Air. Just like the Winston Pure, it's practically impossible to put into words to describe this new rods series. I can tell you that when I stepped to the pond to test these rods I could not have imagined how light and lively could translate into such smooth power. The New Saltwater Air is unlike any Saltwater rod you know of and certainly unlike any Winston saltwater rod from the past. Saltwater Air is a clear leap forward for both the Winston brand as well as the fishing industry.

Within inner circles much concern was discussed about the exit of the Boron IIIx series and what would replace this smooth power rod. The new Pure and Freshwater air really ride on the delicate trout side of fishing and with the next category of rod to be a Saltwater Air series, what would play that middle ground of streamer, indicator, light saltwater or all around fast action fly rods series.

That question was put to rest after experiencing the smaller models of Saltwater Air. The streamer Junkies, myself included, have already set our sights on the 6 and 7 weight models as our next love affair rod series. These lightweight power rods have all the horsepower while the key attraction being so incredibly light feeling. A very important feature when an angler is looking at hundreds or possible thousand casts per day.

The future of Winston can be described much the same as their new rods series; Powerful, Smooth and loaded with Winston Feel.

Scientific Angler Amplitude Tropical Titan - New for 2019

Scientific Anglers Titan taper has become quite well known for its effectiveness to load fast action rods and cast difficult flies. The Titan Taper showed up on the market almost 10 years ago as a freshwater model in the Textured Series of Fly lines. I see have my original Titan line and even after countless hours of use it's still completely intact and functional quality line.

Today, this great taper can be found in many versions like Sonar Titan Sink Tip, Mastery Titan Long, Amplitude Smooth Titan Long, one that I am writing about today, Amplitude Tropical Titan.

What Amplitude Titan does so well is load fast action rods quickly and shoots tough flies great distances with easy one or two backcast. The textured surface reduces a lot of friction both in rod guides as well as waters surface, which makes for easier pickups as well as its great ability to shoot line.

In addition to a great taper much thought was put into stealth and reference coloring. The tip alternates from turtle grass to camo color to create a very stealthy camo tip. Where the rear taper portion of the head meets running line the color changes to horizon. On the very rear approximately last 10' the line color goes black for easy reference that you are about to hit backing.

Specs -

Line Size	Head Weight 30'	Total Head Weight	Head Length	Sink Rate	Total Length
WF6F	210*	280	43.0ft	Float	100ft
WF7F	240*	320	43.0ft	Float	100ft

Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan Sink Tip - New for 2019

If I'm being totally honest I have to admit I hate fishing sink tip lines. I remember when first getting into two hand spey casting and thinking "now this is how to fish a sink tip." Up til that point sinking tip lines just felt clunky and dangerous.

Things have changed a bit since then. I'm much better at single hand casting today and sink tip lines have improved as well. Admittedly I still shudder a bit when the tactics go beyond a mellow intermediate clear tip.

Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan Sink Tip

Scientific Anglers made a big advancement this year in sinking tip fly lines. They took the successful Titan Taper with its powerful load carrying head and transformed it into a sink tip line. Also note that the length of sink directly correlates with line size.

Sink Tip Length

Line Size	Sinking Tip Length
WF5	8.0'
WF6	10.0'
WF7	12.0'
WF8	14.0'
WF9	16.0'
WF10	16.0'

It makes sense to me that larger lines have more mass therefore are capable of carrying more mass. In this equation looking at a WF5 which only has an 8 foot section of sink tip is much more manageable at this level than say a 15 foot tip section would be. Meanwhile larger lines with more mass have a longer sink tip section such as WF8 with it's 14 foot tip section. Instead of a "one size fits all" equation S/A took the approach of matching sinking tip length to fly line size.

The result is a sinking tip line tapered to carry difficult loads with ease and tip length to match power of the fly rod you are fishing. This makes for an excellent streamer line from boat as well as wading.

Sonar Titan Sink tip comes in two sinking densities to match your needs. For lower flows reach for the Sink 3 version which sinks at a rate of 2.5 to 3.5 ips. Kick it up for higher flows with the Sink 6 model that gets down with 5.5 to 6.5 ips ability.

Sink Tip Sink Rates -

• Sink 3 = 2.5 - 3.5ips
• Sink 6 = 5.5 - 6.5ips

Specs - 

Line Size	Color	Head Weight 30'	Total Head Weight	Head Length	Sink Rate	Total Length
WF5F/S - S3	Willow/Moss/Dark Green	185gr*	245gr	43.0ft	2.5 - 3.5ips	105ft

Excursions require some careful planing and organization is key. This new 90 liter gear bag is up for the task. Starting with wet waders and boots need there own private, ventilated space.

We'll risk damaging our clothes and luggage with mold and whatever other river funk may ride along to get that every last minute of angling in before the last shuttle leaves that can get us to airport. The New Essential gear bag will keep that funk in control.
Up top is room!. Tons of room, with easy access including pockets for specific items. You can strap fly rod tubes onto it. It's got grab handles ass well as a removable shoulder strap.

If only there was an easy convenient way to keep cool and carry a 6 pack. Meet Gulper! drop in 6 cold ones and throw it over your shoulder. And when night has set in, grab the last 2 cold ones on your hike out and pack out the empty's.

G. Loomis IMX Pro Spey Rod

John gets excited about IMX Pro Spey Rod Series

John Garret - Veteran Guide: Gorge Fly Shop Product Specialist covers the G. Loomis IMX Pro Short Spey and puts it to the test in the video above.

Hey guys this is John from the Gorge Fly Shop and I'm here to chat with you today about the new G Loomis IMX Pro short spey trout rods.

A long time ago I turned a passion into a profession with a long time guiding career and now working at the Gorge Fly Shop all along the way I've been a huge Loomis fan. So I'm really excited about the IMX Pro Series rods, which were designed from the idea of fulfilling the needs of discriminating professional guides.

With today's efficient and versatile modern short head, line systems being a popular and practical solution for many common casting and presentation issues there was a need for a true Spey taper in a trout spey rod. Recognizing this issue Tom Larimer and Steve Rajeff of G. Loomis, joined forces to create a collection of true spey action rods, crafted to meet the performance characteristics of this new breed of fly lines.

The IMX Pro short spey trout rods are ideal for folks who are already into the two-handed game for steelhead, and want to expand their love beyond steelhead fishing. This allows the angler to fish a two handed rod all year long from multiple species. The conduit core technology used in these rods allows for a ridiculously light rod that sacrifices nothing when it comes to durability, line speed, and ease of casting.

The IMX Pro's short trout spey rods are light and in the right spots. Traditionally as the blank diameter increases, so does the total amount of material being used. This was the only way of ensuring strength and durability in the bottom half of the rod until now. Conduit Core technology replaces excess wraps of graphite with a material of similar strength that's lighter in weight. This improves efficiency and reduces fatigue of fishing situations that require the animation of chunky flies, popping, chugging, stack mending, reach casting, and other repetitive motion.

The IMX pro short trout spey rods come in five models from 3 - 7 weight and are 11' 11 inches in length making them perfect for executing short swings and managing tight fishing conditions.

My favorite being the 4wt. 11' 11" for trout. With the progressive flex, fast action, and plenty of power, the IMX Pro short spey rods jack a cast with ease. Built to the demanding specifications of professional fishing guides the IMX Pro Series is comprised of 15 purpose-driven designs to meet the performance demands of  modern fly fishing.

The IMX Pro short spey trout rods deliver series performance at a beautiful price point, making them a perfect tool for today's modern trout fishing needs.
