"I've used the 6'6" 3wt Rod & Fly on a meadow stream and the Tyenna near Hobart, and I've gotta say it's a wee ripper. I haven't used a lot of small rods (i had a nice Loomis trilogy 4wt 7'6" until someone's future father-in-law stood on it - single tear rolls down cheek), but it went well. Was great on the Tyenna on fish up to 12", and even handled some 3 pounders on the meadow stream (its location is classified under the identity protection program). Not great in the open in wind, but what can you expect. If you're into crawling through tea-tree and grovelling in the tussocks, this little bad-boy will be pretty sweet. i used a 4wt Teeny LaFontaine on it, which overlined a bit at more than 15m... Get the picture?- it's a versatile little rod. It's not the best rod I've ever cast, but it's bloody good value, especially with a spare tip and tube."
I have just got back from Jindabyne (NSW) and was using the Rod & Fly 6'6" 3wt rod for the last 2 weeks on the Mowamba and Thredbo Rivers and can't praise it enough. It is an absolutly beautiful rod to use and ideal for both small and medium size rivers. Considering it cost well under $200, for all those people who are looking for a small versitle stream rod whether a first or back-up stick it's worth checking out.
We Also offer a range of professional flies. The difference between professional and standard is that professional flies are tied to a more exacting standard. We only use the very best materials available. All our flies are hardwearing and robust, the professional range offers the serious fisherman an outstanding level of quality.
The flies are tied on DAI-RIKI hooks which are made in Japan from carbon steel, they have chemically sharpened points which makes flattening the barbs for 'catch and release' a simple task.
Rod and Fly Tasmania is owned and run by Mike Tenner who is a full time accredited guide in Tasmania the #1 location for trout fishing in Australia."LOOK HIM UP IN GOOGLE" All of the flies we sell are tried and tested patterns both for quality and standards, Mike is using the flies most days of the week in his guiding business.We have All positive feedback of 3000 + received on our products. We promise that you will be 100% satisfied with the quality of our flies or we will refund your money.

Rod & Fly 6 weight rod Chris Roberts evaluates an affordable 6 weight.
Although I have close to 25 years fly fishing behind me, I still regard myself as an ‘intermediate’ angler. The majority of my fishing is for trout in lakes and rivers in Tasmania, with the odd bit of light saltwater fishing thrown in. Indeed my current rod is a 6-weight, which I prefer over lighter rods in order to cope with Tassie’s windy conditions.
I have two main requirements of a fly rod. First, it must be able to cast accurately with good presentation and control; and second, be able to shoot line at long or short distances with minimal false casting. The Rod & Fly 4-piece 6-weight came up trumps on both counts, a little to my surprise. I was able to cast close to the entire WF line with a single false cast, a match for my current yet far more expensive whipping stick. In addition, its ability to shoot into tight corners when searching with a small wet, and to present the fly quickly and lightly on the water in difficult blustery conditions proved it a rod worthy of serious consideration.
The big advantage of this rod is its value for money. At $250 it is able to compete favourably against rods twice or even three times its retail value, thanks to Rod & Fly’s position as a local brand that mainly retails direct.
At first glance the rod looks good, finished with quality reel seat, cork handle, ferrules and stainless snake guides (although my preference would be for smaller diameter guides). Not liking flashy rods myself, the matt finish is a big positive. Again a spare rod tip increases value for money, leading me to immediately think of it as an ideal spare hiking rod for out in the Western Lakes, or a good solid beginner’s rod with its added insurance against breakage. It also comes with a strong tube and good warranty.
A small criticism was a little vibration or bounce transferred to the line, due in part to the rigidity of the blank, which has some effect on control of delicate presentations. This may be of more concern to the elite or specialist fly angler, but may also be largely a matter of getting used to the action.
Other rods in the Rod & Fly range seem to be of similar quality. They range from a 6'6" 3-weight to a 10' 8-weight.
Different rods suit different people, but if you’re looking for a new rod give one of these a try. You’ll be surprised by the quality, while being able to comfortably admit what you actually paid for it.
