"Brilliant rod and even better service"

Review: Gorge really helped me decide which rod to buy and also which line to use with it. Just tried it today, best rod I’ve ever cast. Great service from Gorge

"Great service and advice"

James Hayden on 12/2/2019 10:53:13 AM

Review: I have spoken with several people at the Gorge Shop and they are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to take the time to advise you on what you need for your objectives. I have purchased 3 rods as well as other equipment. My Loomis Asquith arrived at my home in less than 48 hours. I live 3,000 miles from Oregon. What else can I say? Of course I will make purchases again from the Gorge fly shop. Re the Asquith. It looks great. I won’t fish it until June 2020. I’m confident it will do the job.

"Wow!!!!"

Terry Watson on 12/21/2018 4:52:47 PM

Review: Talk about a smooth but powerful rod with softness and casting ability when coupled with a line recommended by GFS this is it. Definitely a premium rod to use well worth the $.

"The best fast action 5wt on the planet"

Ryan Van Duzor on 6/7/2018 11:48:14 PM

Review: I am not a fast action trout rod guy, but a few days fishing this 5wt has certainly made me see the light. Light, balanced, perfect swing weight and all the power when you need it with delicacy when you don't. I will never stop loving softer rods, been the performance of this rod is unreal!
