Dry fly and delicate presentation rods
The PURE series (2-5wt) won IFTD’s Best of Show for freshwater rods in 2018, and for good reason: The ability of these medium-action rods to present flies in a delicate and accurate manner is unmatched, making them perfect for technical waters like the Henry’s Fork, spring creeks and backcountry beaver ponds filled with wary brookies. The 2 and 3wts are perfect for small streams, while the 4 and 5wts are ideal for larger rivers and fish that still require a light touch. All rods come with our graphite tube and logo rod sock.

Perfect Presentation Partner…
I am a qualified Fly Fishing Guide.
For me, dry fly fishing is the essence of the sport. I fish water in the Rocky Mountains where I live. The art of presenting a dry fly like a natural is an absolute necessity when the hatch goes off. There no better rod in my experience than a Winston Pure!
Everything must work in unison. The line, leader and tippet must be thoughtfully chosen to compliment your fly rod. The Winston Pure is the angling instrument that conducts this presentation harmony…
I fish my 9 foot 4 weight Pure to accomplish that perfect presentation. I love the simple elegance of this rod. The Pure is a patient partner. When you time the rise to perfection. The Fly lands with no notice, just like the Caddis it imitates…

Love this rod!
The pure is the do it all rod. Summer dries, of course. Nymph rig **** yes. Streamers, go for it. I love this rod all over Colorado and California. Couldn’t ask for a better maker than the rl Winston.

Love the Pure rods!
I have been fishing the Winston Pure rods for most of my dry fly fishing since they came out - it would be hard to imagine a better tool for this application. Lots of line speed yet with a comfortable load at both short and long distances, easy on lighter tippets, exceptionally accurate, super lightweight, fun to fight all sizes of fish with...for me it is the perfect dry fly tool.

PUREly the only rod you need.
I've casted many, MANY rods in my life. I've fished, broke, dropped, and lost plenty. The 590 Pure is by far my most cherished stick. This thing will wing a #10 chubby into the rollers of the Madison on a 30mph+ windy day, while simultaneously turning around and dropping a #20 rusty spinner on to a Henry's Fork brown's nose the very next day. Do yourself a favor and pick one up.

Pure FUN!
9’ 5 weight is just a dreamy, smooth, dry fly flicking machine. Fit and finish are spectacular. It sings with a true to weight line. I’m looking forward to many, many summer evenings with a handful of dry flies and my Pure. Thank you to the fine folks in Twin Bridges!
