Our club has an inventory of fly rods and reels available to members to borrow. The rod loaner program is designed to allow members the opportunity to try different weight fly rods prior to purchasing or check one out for a special outing. Additionally, new members who don’t yet own a rod can check one out to learn how to cast and fish. Below is a list of rods that are available to use:
- #1 LL Bean Quest II 9’ 8 wt 4 piece
- #2 LL Bean Angler 7’ 5 wt 2 piece
- #3 LL Bean Angler 7’ 5 wt 2 piece
- #4 LL Bean Angler 7’ 5 wt 2 piece
- #5 Cortland Pro-Crest 5-6 wt 2 piece, fiberglass “Walker Zimmerman Jr”
- #6 Okuma Tempest 9’ 8 wt 3 piece
- #7 Orvis Hydros 9’ 9 wt 4 piece
All rods come with a reel and line and some will come with a hip pack and flies. Contact me at 240-367-4905 or at plantprotection@comcast.net to check out a rod.
