Our thoughts on the Winston Pure Fly Rod
The Winston Pure Fly Rod is our favorite dry fly rod on the market. The slower/softer design creates a perfect fly rod for small to large streams with dry flies. This fly rod follows the more traditional slower action than most rods on the market these days. While this rod is designed for dry flies, it can also handle some fairly large nymph rigs and smaller streamers.
We really like this rod for small to medium sized streams. Fishing size 8-28 dry flies that require delicate presentation to spooky fish.
This fly rod won best of show for freshwater fly rods in 2018 IFTD’s show. Not only is the design perfect for dry fly presentations, but it also matches the beautiful quality in components that we expect from Winston over the years.
Our fly shop in Missoula, MT has been outfitting anglers since 1987 and we fully back the quality and design of all R.L. Winston rods.

2wt: Meant for casting microscopic dry flies on the lightest tippet, and bends into the butt section with the weight of a small trout.
3wt: Fun rods meant for small stream fishing. From the ultra-short 6’6” version to the 7’6″. These 3 weights will excel at any small stream or extremely delicate presentation.
4wt: If you’re obsessed with feeding small flies to picky fish. Our selection of 4 weight PUREs blend accuracy, delicacy, and fish fighting strength. Think any spring creek from Paradise Valley, Montana, to the world renowned Driftless area in Wisconsin.
5wt: From dry fly fishing on bigger western rivers, to light nymphing and small streamers. The 5 weight PURE will provide the classic Winston feel in a taper that adds more accuracy and line control.
