Douglas Upstream Plus Fly Rod

The Douglas Upstream Plus Fly Rod gives trout anglers a smooth-casting, versatile tool with added backbone for medium- to large-sized rivers, where dry flies, indicator nymph rigs, and small streamers all see equal time. Many anglers gravitate to this model for the familiar Upstream feel paired with extra strength that handles bigger trout, heavier flies, and long days covering mixed water, from riffles and seams to deeper runs. A balanced layout reduces fatigue while keeping the finesse needed for technical currents, selective brown and rainbow trout, and precise presentations at distance. Premium cork, lightweight guides, traditional spigot ferrules, and a Tonkin bamboo-inspired matte blank reflect Douglas Outdoors’ craftsmanship, while the included aluminum rod tube and matching sock round out a responsive, all-around trout rod that transitions cleanly from delicate dry fly work to controlled subsurface drifts.
