ABEL Grateful Dead Dancing Bears Reel, Limited Edition

Super 5N DB (2)       $925  (lines 5-6) 

Super 7/8N DB (1)  $1,050  (lines 7-8)

G.Loomis NRX Fly Rods    

Telluride Angler brought on G.Loomis in the fall of 2014 for one simple reason:  they might be the best casting fly rods ever designed.  The NRX Series, designed by casting champion Steve Rajeff, are the flagship fly rods from this famous rod maker.  The NRX Series is available in trout, saltwater, steelhead and 2-handed steelhead/salmon models.

The Sage SALT is a marvel of engineering, both the most powerful and easiest casting saltwater rod Sage has ever designed.  The Salt won Best Saltwater Fly Rod and overall Best of Show at our 2014 ICAST trade show.  12 models are offered for $850.  The staff of Telluride Angler have cast every rod in the series, so please call for a personal recommendation.  [rod list, specs, reviews]  

Ross Gunnison Reel, Limited Edition:  Give a piece of Colorado fly fishing history.  We have less than 20 of the famous Gunnisons left in stock.  The reintroduction was so successful that many interested anglers will be left without one. For now, however, all three sizes remain available.

G1 Reel (line weights 3-5)   $250 

G2 Reel (line weights 5-6)   $260 

G3 Reel (line weights 6-7)   $270

Scott Radian Fly Rods

Best of Show, Fly Fishing Retailer 2013    

"Best Fast Action Fly Rod of All Time"

Regarded by many as the finest fast action fly rod ever designed, the Radian is our single hottest fly rod for the holidays.  Telluride Angler is the biggest Scott dealer in the world and has every Radian model in stock.  [models, specs and reviews] 

   

Abel Machined Line Clippers:  a candidate for most colorful and most useful gift in the stocking.  These fully machined nippers will become the angler's favorite tool and may last a lifetime.  Like Abel's famous reels, Abel Nippers are made 100% in their Camarillo, CA factory and offered in a spectacular array of colors and patterns.  $50-$100

Hatch Nomad Pliers:  Many quality plier choices are available to the angler, but the finest of them all is the Hatch Nomad Plier.  The distinction is in the details:  jaws that flatten almost perfectly against each other; tungsten carbide line clippers that are equally effective with braid, mono and wire; a slim profile in the sheath for decreased bulk; a leather sheath and lanyard included in the price.  The Nomad Plier makes an even better gift because of its high price -- every angler wants them, but most won't splurge for themselves.  $280 

Sage Grace Outfits:  The Sage Grace outfit will have an impact both on the water and off.  Available in both 5-wt and 8-wt, the Grace Outfit matches a top quality Sage graphite IIIe fly rod with a Sage 3200 Series reel, Rio Gold fly line and durable rod/reel carrying case, all produced in custom pink to honor the cause for breast cancer research.  Graciously, Sage donates $50 to Casting for Recovery with the sale of every Grace Outfit.   The Grace Outfit offers substantial savings to the angler for high performance equipment.  $795   [more] 

Ross Animas Reels:  The long awaited Ross Animas arrives just in time for the holidays.  Hang one of these beautiful new reels on your favorite trout rod this spring!  The 5/6 will ship in the first week of December, with other sizes to follow.  Ross Reels are manufactured 65 miles from Telluride Angler in Montrose, Colorado.

Scott Tidal Series Rods:  This fine mid-priced saltwater fly rod ($475) will catch every fish in the ocean and leaves plenty of budget room for a high quality reel.  Scott introduced the Tidal at the 2014 ICAST show in July.  In the months since, it has earned trust from dedicated saltwater anglers and acclaim from the world's best fly casters.  The Tidal is available in a 9'0" 4-piece configuration for line weights 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12.  [specs, prices, reviews]    

BIG COLORADO LOVE T-shirts and Hats:  What a wonderful home-grown product.  Telluride local Beth Kelly designs these T-shirts and hats right here in Telluride and donates 10% of her revenues to Colorado charities.   

This is the hottest apparel line in the state, bar none.  Telluride Angler is Beth's charter dealer and eternal protagonist.  This Telluride gift is from the heart, all the way.  [complete lineup]
