Small Stream, Big Payoff—The Bamboo Rod Built for Tight Water

Purpose-Built for Precision on Small Water

When you’re fishing backcountry creeks, high mountain streams, or spring-fed trickles, every cast counts. The Grande Ronde was designed for these moments — short, accurate presentations in close quarters where stealth and feel matter most. At 6' 6" and 3-weight, this rod offers unmatched control in tight casting lanes.

It’s built on the legendary Dickerson 6611 taper, known for its lively action, fast recovery, and gentle delivery. Whether you're roll casting under canopy or bow-and-arrow casting to a pocket pool, the Grande Ronde responds with finesse and purpose.

A Taper That Brings Feel Back to Fly Fishing

The Dickerson 6611 taper is a favorite among small-stream enthusiasts. It loads effortlessly at short range, flexing just enough to keep you connected without overpowering delicate flies. This taper helps anglers dial in precision, allowing you to drop a dry fly where it needs to go—softly, naturally, and with confidence.

Ideal Waters: Where the Grande Ronde Shines

This rod is made for small waters with tight casting zones and clear, shallow runs—the kind of places where trout are wild and wary. Think of the Grande Ronde River headwaters in Oregon or another remote alpine creek where every rise feels earned. The Grande Ronde rod makes those places more accessible—and more enjoyable.
