One Rod to Handle It All—From Technical Dries to Heavy Rigs

Designed for Versatility Without Compromise

At 7' 9" and 5-weight, the Henrys Fork is the most adaptable bamboo rod in the Headwaters lineup. It’s built on the classic Paul H. Young Para 14 taper—a semi-parabolic design that flexes deep and delivers power smoothly through the cast.

From light dry flies to hopper-dropper rigs and even weighted nymphs, this rod was built to handle a range of fishing styles and water conditions. If you're looking for a true all-arounder with backbone, this is the one.

The Para 14 Taper: Power with a Soft Touch

The Para 14 taper is known for its full-flex feel and surprising strength. It loads deep, generating power for longer casts and heavier flies, while still maintaining the delicacy bamboo is known for. This taper excels when switching from finesse to force—giving you control whether you're drifting a tiny BWO or lobbing a double-nymph rig.

Where the Henrys Fork Shines

This rod thrives on rivers like the Henrys Fork of the Snake River in Idaho. It's complex, technical, and ever-changing. Whether you’re casting to rising fish on the flats of the Railroad Ranch or fishing through riffles and pocket water further upstream, the Henrys Fork rod adapts beautifully. It's the perfect blend of grace and grit.
