The Rogue Fly Fish gear picker is a free, interactive tool that helps you build a complete fly fishing setup for the Rogue River and beyond. Answer a few quick questions about your target species, water type, technique, budget, and skill level, and the picker recommends rods, reels, lines, leaders, waders, boots, and flies that actually make sense together.
This tool is designed for both beginners and experienced anglers. If you’re new to fly fishing on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon, the gear picker can point you toward simple, proven setups for trout, steelhead, and salmon. If you’ve been fishing for years, you can use it to compare options, refine your setup for specific conditions, or discover new gear ideas.
The gear picker is tuned first and foremost for the Rogue River, but the recommendations also work for many rivers and lakes in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. You can build setups for trout in small creeks, steelhead in medium and large rivers, and salmon in bigger water. As the database grows, more specific patterns and gear options will be added for different seasons and techniques.
Recommendations are based on a combination of on-the-water experience, Rogue Fly Fish testing, and practical considerations like budget and skill level. The goal isn’t to push the most expensive gear, but to match you with rods, reels, lines, waders, and flies that work together for the way you actually fish.
Yes. The gear picker is free to use and will continue to be improved over time. Some recommended products may include affiliate links, which help support Rogue Fly Fish at no extra cost to you, but the goal is always the same: honest, Rogue River-focused gear suggestions that help you feel more confident on the water.
