Sage Fly Fishing

Maine in Spring with Joe Webster Joe Webster stays pretty busy during the early spring. Between tying sessions and before Maine stripers consume his days and nights, Joe gets his fill of aggressive pike and eager landlocked Atlantic salmon. Here, the Sage Elite Pro and RIO Ambassador swaps out his SALT R8 for the new POWER R8 and a trusted G5 Trout Spey, showcasing the fruits of his labor. Speaking on the POWER R8, Joe comments: “I was stoked when I first heard about these new rods and got my hands on one as soon as they were available. Just in time, too—my early season outings for northern pike were almost exclusively with a 990 POWER R8. I’ve been incredibly happy with the responsiveness and feel, without compromising the power it was clearly designed for. I’m absolutely looking forward to fishing these this season for striped bass. I have a feeling they’ll become part of my go-to coastal quiver." We await a full report, Joe. #sageflyfishing #perfectingperformance

R8 CORE // Fast Action The R8 CORE marked the introduction of Sage’s Revolution 8 Technology to the world. Descended from the lineage of Sage’s modern fast action rods like the X, ONE and Z-AXIS, the R8 CORE reset the standard for performance in the multi-application arena. R8 Technology ushered in new levels of touch, power and durability—making an all-around rod family the ideal platform to bring it to life. Whether from the bank with a hopper, on the bow with a bobber or mid-river with a full fly box, the R8 CORE is built to handle it all. #sageflyfishing #perfectingperformance

Springtime in the valley! I’ve really been enjoying the new Sage Power R8 790, Sage Shift LT Reel, paired with the Predator Fly Line by Rio. A top notch combo and an American made fly rod. #sageflyfish #bassfishing

Not for the faint of heart or the ill-prepared, tarpon on the fly asks everything of the angler—and even more from the gear built to chase them. How you handle the pressure is up to you. The gear is our department. SAGE SALT R8s in the double digit weights—1190-4 is right in the wheelhouse—and a beefy THERMO or ENFORCER reel are your armaments for the silver king. #letitfly #sageflyfish 📷 #1 @alex_blouin #2-4 @dylanschmitz

There’s no place like home on the CA Delta in the spring! Chasing stripers with family and friends!! #cadelta #stripersonthefly #catchandrelease #sageflyfish #rioproducts

One rod, every presentation. The Sage Arrow.⁠ ⁠ The Arrow is built around KonneticHD technology, an optimised graphite-to-resin ratio and higher-density graphite fibre composite that produces blanks lighter and stronger than previous Konnetic generations. That means faster recovery after the cast, cleaner energy transfer through the loop, and the feel to handle dry fly, nymph, and streamer work from the same rod.⁠ ⁠ Available from 7'6" 3wt through to 9' 8wt, with 10' options in the 5-7wt range for Stillwater scenarios. ⁠ ⁠ One platform. Dry fly to streamer, covered.⁠ ⁠ #sageflyfish

𝐒 𝐔 𝐂 𝐂 𝐄 𝐒 𝐒 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 [noun]the sequence, order, or process of one person, object, or event following another. A process built over time small moments leading to something bigger. The next step in that progression. Built on the legacy of @sageflyfish the Salt R8, paired with the Big Game Thermo 12–16. #sageflyfishing #perfectingperformance

The farewell to Dave's @dewiseman7 leaping brown trout we posted a few days ago. Minimum flow (750 cfs and 4wd) and clear White River mean awesome sight fishing and release videos. Perhaps one of my all time favorites. Pack and 5wt Sage R8 Core and a R8 Classic for dry flies and book for April/May 2027. #lovetowatchthemleave #dallysguides #whiteriver #caddis #sageflyfish
