In Orbit
At this time of the year its all go - we have fishing to do; we've been to the Usk, and Kennet, then the Garfish are "in", not to forget the cod and sea-trout. The Mayfly is up on our local stream. Then we have to test new rods namely the Czech-Nymph (been trying out those on the coast targeting Garfish), and the new SOLO 2handers. At the same time we have a number of shows on, new dealers are opening up (Romania, Lithuania, Serbia) - plus all the activity going on in the casting school ....
... when I return out of orbit I'll get the web-site updated with the new models. Until then, if you need some information on them then please just drop me a mail by clicking the picture above or give us a ring.
Your BFF Team.

ECHO2
Ever wish you could tweak your rod to better match the conditions? The ECHO 2 families of fresh and salt water rods come with two tips-the stiffer tip is marked with a "D" for distance and the other is marked with an "A" for accuracy. Pick your favourite tip and use the second tip as a spare when needed. |
|
|
ECHO CARBON
Tim Rajeff's new line of trout rods. They have Medium Fast to Fast actions with modest power levels to help fool big fish and they look fantatstic. Tim has created nine ECHO CARBON models to cover every trout fishery from super small creeks to big rivers and windy conditions. They feature a matte brown finish with a custom ECHO man reel seat and some composite cork at the top of the handle. Sweet!! |
|
|
ECHO ION
Big sticks that feel light and smooth. ECHO ION rods come in a broad range of sizes. Whether you fish for big trout, steelhead and bass or head to the salt for stripers, albacore, or tropical flats fishing, there's an ECHO ION rod that fits your needs. Matte grey camo blanks make the rods look like they mean business. |
|
|
ECHO ED
How far can you cast? Well, we wanted to take a long cast and make it farther. This family of 10 foot #6 and 10 foot #8 rods are designed to let it all hang out. As you would expect both ECHO ED rods are stiff Fast actions rods with an attitude. No finish on the blank and Tim's competition distance casting handle make the ED rods look like they are going 200 kmh just sitting there. Ruari Costello from Ireland has been using these weapons to win casting events all over the world. |

ECHO DH (The Dec Hogan or "Decho")
Two hands are better than one. Just ask Dec Hogan, the man responsible for the DH rods. The DH rods load easily and make everyone who uses one a better caster. Available in a light trout Spey #4 to a large river #9, there is an ECHO DH rod to cover just about every fishing condition. Two longer rods were added to the line up for 2009. |
|
|
ECHO TR
Tim Rajeff has a slightly more aggressive stroke than some of his friends, so he created a family of rods that have a little more backbone in the bottom half of the rod. Available in trout Spey sizes all the way to a 15' #10, the ECHO TR rods make throwing tight loops easy. Matte camo green with black components make the rods look like the weapon of choice for most two hand fly anglers. |
|
|
ECHO SR
Shorter two hand rods are making it easier for people to transition into the world of Spey fishing. ECHO SR rods fall into the category of Switch Rods, allowing people to cast the rods with one hand or two hands. Great for tight spots or smaller rivers they "come around" quickly and do not require a lot of hand strength. In a matte pale olive finish and tricked out handle design they use cutting edge rod technology to help you jack tight loops across the river. Check out the new #4 and #5 weight models. |
|
|
ECHO SOLO
If you are hunting for your first fly rod, or if you are on a limited budget the ECHO SOLO is the right stick for you. Medium Fast action in a three piece design will make getting started in the sport easy. Available in three trout models, and a saltwater size. |
|
|
ECHO GECKO
Do you remember your first fly rod? Chances are it wasn't designed for a kid to use. ECHO GECKO rods are designed specifically to help young people learn how to cast and fish with ease. The bright yellow blanks and funky orange and black ultra small diameter handle make it fun to learn how to fish. |
|
|
ECHO TRIP
Finally, an eight piece ultra travel rod that feels like your favorite "regular four piece" rod. ECHO TRIP rods come with a special case that holds the rod plus has room for reels, flies, tippet, and everything you need to sneak out of the office for an afternoon meeting with "Mister Brown". |
|

ECHO MPR
Learn to cast the perfect loop indoors and out. Rope (line) and yarn (leader) imitates the exact action of a full size fly rod enabling you to perfect your timing. This is a very popular product.

BalticFlyFisher - School of FlyFishing
Casting a fly line well can also be described as a form of art. Seeing an expert controlling 25 metres of line with little effort and seeing your fly whizz out in a straight line into a head wind and to land lightly on the surface of the water is magic ...
... it is even more magical to see your fly taken by a bar of Baltic Silver - a sea trout, or have your mini surface popper engulfed by an explosive gar-fish or your "pike brush" taken by a Salty Pike.
BalticFlyFisher's own Silja Longhurst (FFF-CI) is pleased to announce the availibility of custom-tailored and expert, private instruction and guided tuition for clubs, individuals, families, or businesses.
