Gary Anderson Spey rods

[Jeff Edwards]

I have been looking online for literature for his Spey rods. I can't seem to find any... Could one of you nice folks out there post a link to his site or liturature on his rods.

Thanks

Jeff Edwards

PS - I'm looking to purchase a lighter Spey rod for eastern rivers. The lower and Upper Delaware. It looks like I'm moving back east for work...

Jeff,
I don't think that he has a web site but could be wrong. I think Bob Meiser discusses his blanks as Bob has used them some so might go to his web site - I think he has three main rods - all 13'3" a 6; a 7 and an 8wt. They are quite fast but very nice rods - I have his 7 wt and it can do alot from heavy tips to long bellys.

From a post by Bill it sounds like he may have some true light weight ones out - 4-5 wt and hope to check them out if available at the San Rafael show this weekend - will post info on them

Best regards,
Rick J

Gary Anderson in southern Oregon makes very light #3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 weight Spey rods. He is working on his web site.

We (Kiene's) are the only dealers for them in California.

We have them on display at our shop.

Jeff Putam in Sacramento has demos that you can cast.

Gary is at the San Rafael show this weekend with them.

Gary will have all of them at our annual Fly Fishing Expo here at the shop on April 23, Saturday.

Thanks for the info guys. I really want to test out the lighter weight rods. I am really interested in the 4 and 5 wt rods. Do you have them in the shop?

Bill,

What lines are available for #3 or #4 wt Spey rods?

Thanks.

[Rick J]

Anderson is using standard steelhead taper lines such as the Rio and Airflo lines - I think he is using an 8 or 9 on the 4 wt. I cast the 4 at San Rafael and it was a blast - I believe the line he had on it was a discontinued AIRFLO with about a 40+ foot head.

We do not currently stock the lighter Anderson rods but that should change shortly.

I will post on this board when we get them in.

[Jeff Edwards]

Thanks Adam! I'll keep an eye on the boards. I'm interested in the 4- 5 wt rods. I think they would be perfect on the West Branch of the Delaware River.

Hopefully you will have them in so I can demo them before I end up moving...
