Sage Classic R8

We were honored when our long-time client Sage asked us to help them get back to their roots with their new rod, the Classic R8. We brought in Bozeman based artist Animoscillator to help with the introduction and spent some time with rod designer Peter Knox and all-around dry fly legend, Bryan Gregson to introduce a rod that screams heart and soul. Stop by your local fly shop and give one a cast - you might just need one…

From Sage:

The evolution of a fly angler aligns with the pace at which they fish. Over time, the desire to catch many or large fish shifts toward fishing with intention—on one’s own terms—leading to a slower, more thoughtful approach. Casts become less frequent but more meaningful, filled with a deeper sense of the moment. As pace slows, awareness heightens, and observation takes center stage. Days or weeks are spent waiting for the hatch, and when it finally comes, one cast may be all we get. Inspired by time and place, we learn to slow down and savor the experience, finding there is always more to observe, learn, and feel—including that one perfect fish.
