JP Ross Fly Rods

Building Custom Fly Rods for over 15 years

Over 15 years and thousands of fly rods later we still get excited when we get a phone call or email from someone that wants a custom fly rod. Here at JP Ross custom fly rods shop we make every fly rod by hand and one at a time. We also specialize in small stream or short fly rods that are perfect for fly fishing for wild fish in small remote streams. Our small stream fly rod is our Beaver Meadow. JP Ross Fly Rods also has a number of other models; including our fast action tournament fly rod the ONXY, our smooth progressive action rods like our Blue Line and Adirondack, and don't forget the only fiberglass fly rod in the world with a solid nickel silver retro style ferrule the Reuben Wood. Every rod is custom built with a feather inlay and custom inscription. All our rods are custom and made right here in Utica, NY in the foothills of the Adirondacks.

Trout Power Tournament and Creel Study

Custom fly rod for small stream fly fishing

The benefits of the Beaver Meadow is its short length, light weight and roll casting ability. The rod was designed to fish small streams for brook trout, but later we found that people had been looking for a rod like this to catch golden trout, cutthroat trout and even smallmouth bass; so although it is inspired by the Adirondack Brook Trout, it can in fact be used for just about anything. Because this is a JP Ross Rod, you can design your own beaver meadow with a fighting butt if you wanted… its up to you.

This custom fly rod is available for a bargin, in our ADAMS series. the 6 foot 6 inch 2 weight is only $219.00 

or as a 5 foot 2/3 weight for only $155.00

We also offer the Beaver Meadow small stream fly rod in different lengths.
