What do you recommend for trout fishing in The Driftless Region?
If I had to choose one rod to fish The Driftless region in Iowa, Minnesota, & Wisconsin, I would pick a 3 or 4 weight rod.
With the smaller streams and closer contact with the fish, this is a killer set up. There are also places that require an even more delicate approach, and for that a 0-2 weight is perfect. Contact us for discussion.
Do you have anglers that use your packable rods as back up rods?
Yes, we sure do. We do business with a number of serious anglers that hike a long way to get to their prized water.
It's always a good idea to have a back up rod with you, and our packable rods can clip right to your pack so they are always with you.
Do you offer a discount for Law Enforcement, First Responders, or Military?
We are proud to do offer a 10% discount to our law enforcement, first responders, & military friends. To obtain the discount code, please email us at info@pescadoronthefly.com, use FIRST RESPONDER CODE REQUEST as the subject line.

Do you have a money back guarantee?
We sure do. When you receive your rod, feel free to assemble it, cast it, get a good feel of the rod. Make sure you leave the plastic on the cork. If for whatever reason you don't like the feel, send it back. Check out our return policy for more information.
What is your return policy?
We are so confident in our rods and reels we offer a money back return policy. Our customers have 30 days from purchase to return their rods for any reason and receive a refund of the purchase price less the shipping cost. We require the rods and reels to be in new re-sellable condition and in the exact same condition as you received it. All plastic still on the cork, same box for the fly reel, and so on. Just reach out and let us know you intend on returning, and we will advise you on the process.
Will you be manufacturing different weights of fly rods in the future?
YES! We currently have 0-10 weight available in a couple of different series of rods.
Will we expand? Absolutely, and we have a number of new projects in the works. We recently launched our Saltwater Series of 7-10 weight combos.
We have also launched our Wild collection of 0-2 weight combos and they are INCREDIBLE.
Where are your fly rods manufactured?
Our fly rods and reels are manufactured overseas. There is only one reason for this. Price. We would not be able to bring fly rods of this performance level to the market at these prices without manufacturing them overseas.
Do you make a good rod for fishing streamers?
Absolutely, we actually have three. Check out El Jefe Salt, this rod is available in four or six sections and is Jeff's go to streamer rod.. Also, we have our Econ 101 906-7/8. All of these rods will help you toss giant streamers to your water's largest predators.
With so many sections in your travel fly rods, do they come apart all the time?
Actually no, it does not come apart all the time. In fact, we have tested these rods in 4 countries and around 30+ states now and have never had one come apart while casting.
Doesn't mean it will never happen, I have had 2 & 4 piece rods come apart while casting so you never know! So far, it hasn't been an issue for us or our customers.
