SOME OF US HAVE BEEN FLY FISHING FOR DECADES. SOME MAY BE
JUST GETTING STARTED. BUT WE ARE ALL BOUND BY THE SAME
THING – THE OVERWHELMING SURGE OF EMOTION THAT HAPPENS
RIGHT AT THE MOMENT WE REALIZE A FISH HAS
TAKEN OUR FLY. ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS
GETS OLD OR THAT AFTER SOME TIME THOSE
MOMENTS BLEND TOGETHER AND BECOME INDISTINGUISHABLE –
WELL THEY PROBABLY DON’T DO ENOUGH FLY FISHING TO KNOW.

Maybe you fish in a beret. Maybe you don’t. But when you fish with a
Legend Elite® fly rod, chances are your cast is a work of art. So is the rod
for that matter – with its slim-profile ferrules and premium, high-modulus,
high-strain SC V graphite blanks featuring ART™ and IPC® technology.
Add in SC VI graphite in the lower portion of the rod for added power and
reduced weight along with FRS (Fortified Resin System) for strength and
durability, and they are every bit as functional as they are beautiful.

To the gentle readers who still think fly-fishing is nothing more than the quiet pastime
of stately figures in tweed, we have someone we’d like you to meet. Yeah, that’s right,
the guy over there with the musky on his line, a buzz from the action and a brand new
St. Croix® Legend® X fly rod in his hand. This revolutionary fly rod series is just what
the counter-fly-culture crowd has been craving. A beefy, multi-dynamic blend of four
carbon materials capable of getting big flies out to the meanest predatory fish – bass,
pike and musky. Loaded with IPC® and ART,™ these bad boys put it all right there, and
then some. Wrap your hands around the grip of a Legend X and hang on.

Ask Kelly Galloup to design a fly and rest assured it will be meaty. Ask him to help
develop a fly rod and you can bet it will be meaty as well. The Bankrobber™ is simply the
ultimate streamer-fishing rod for chucking big, weighted flies effortlessly, but with the
precision of a Tomahawk missile. Likewise, with a special light-weight tip, the High Stick
Drifter is designed specifically for today’s advanced nymph fishing. The unique tip reduces
angler fatigue when the rod is held high for long periods of time, while emphasizing
sensitivity for better strike detection. Both rods lead the way in their categories.

Keep them in a special pocket in your vest. Or tucked carefully into the pages of
your favorite Roderick Haig-Brown novel. On a dreary February evening you can
pull them out and remember all the places you’ve fished. Of course, a lot of that
exploring was with one of our Avid Series® fly rods. Covering a wide array of trout
fishing applications, these moderate-action rods feature IPC® technology and load
progressively down the blank, making them ideal for protecting light tippets. Their
beautiful pearl green finish means they look good about anywhere on the planet.

There’s the one you bought in the Safeway parking lot from the old timer. The one
your nephew in Idaho tied for you. The two dozen that always seem to be the only
thing that works the last week of October. Just as every fish has a story, so too does
every fly. And the stories get even better when those flies are sent across the water with
a St. Croix® Imperial® fly rod. Handcrafted at our factory in Wisconsin, its dynamic
blend of high-modulus / high-strain SC IV graphite and premium-quality SC II
graphite provides a lightweight and fast-action experience at a tremendous value.

Few pursuits have inspired as much passionate writing as fly fishing; this catalog
being no exception, of course. There are books about flies, books about casting,
exotic locations and selecting gear. And that’s even before we get to the whole
section of fly-fishing poetry. Before long there will be a substantial volume covering
the Rio Santo series rods. Built in our Fresnillo facility, they offer a smooth, moderatefast action that is a pleasure to fish – at all skill levels. And, outfitted with quality
components from tip-top to reel seat, they are a justifiable source of inspiration.
