WARNING!!

WARNING!!

If you're looking for "Yuppie" Fly Rods & Reels, you won't find them here. Fish can't read the label on your rod or reel, but they respond well to presentation.  So if you're looking for the best fishing gear and aren't hung up on name brands...

Grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable and browse a while.
Choose from 100% U.S. made models or quality affordable import brands... Competetive prices!  You can call me prejudice if you want (but I wouldn't bank on that) when I say I carry 100% U.S. made rods that will rival or beat Sage, Winston, Scott, etc. for $100 less.

Fly Fishing Crazy, with permission from Project Healing Waters, has asked T.L. Johnson Rod Company, one of the best rod builders in the U.S., to build a custom fly rod with 20% of sales going to Project Healing Waters.  Terry Johnson and I have now partnered on this deal and the donation has been sweetened by an additional $20.  So now it is "20% +$20" for each rod sold, going to Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing.  The redesigned rods come in 4 grades - "Enlisted" Grade, "NCO" Grade, "Class A" Grade and "Evening Dress Blues" Grade.

It's hard enough to find a 100% U.S. built fly rod starting at $369, but to be able to have one custom built and help out our Veterans is hard to pass up.  For more details on the Project Healing Waters rods, click here. 

Because of the customization available, please allow 4-8 weeks build time!  That's not that long of a wait for a beautiful custom rod. 

FACT

FACT

If you are not CRAZY  about FLY FISHING, then you're not a fly fisherman. FLY FISHING becomes a passion, some even say an obsession. The goal of FLY FISHING is to "Perpetrate the Fraud". The fraud is using an artificial fly and the perpetration is presenting it to the fish in a manner that looks real and natural.

And remember... "FREE SHIPPING" on "ALL ORDERS" in the U.S.

What if Fish could READ...

What if Fish could READ...

Fish might be greatly impressed by some of today’s “glamour” FLY RODS. You know the ones – trendy names, slick advertising, hefty price tags.  Truth be told, the only thing that impresses fish is presentation.  Fish are impressed by how naturally your fly settles on the water, how delicately your rod mends line for a drag-free-drift, how exacting your cast is delivered to precisely where the fish is feeding, and how sensitively your dexterity is transmitted from rod to line to fly to water to fish. 

That’s why Fly Fishing CRAZY sells FLY FISHING RODS that are built for down-to-earth fly fishers who want fine, affordable, honest performance and quality above fancy labels and high budget-advertising.  Graphite FLY RODS from ELKHORN, T.L. JOHNSON, FISH CREEK, STONE CREEK, WRIGHT & MCGILL, and REDINGTON.  Fiberglass Fly Rods from T.L. JOHNSON.  100% U.S.A. made Fiberglass, Graphite and Bamboo FLY RODS from T.L. JOHNSON, as well as U.S.A. made Bamboo FLY RODS by MATT SCHLISKE.

Several of our rods are not your "run-of-the-mill", built in mass quantities, variety.  Shipping these rods will require a couple of extra days or even weeks, because they need to be built, just for you, finished and dried before shipping.  Now that's freshness!

T.L. Johnson Blem and Discontinued Fly Rod Blanks.  GREAT DEAL - U.S. made Fly Rod Blanks!  Don't forget SHIPPING in the U.S. is on "my dime"!

Unbelievable deals to be had, limited stock on some models.  All models are discontinued colors, models or slight cosmetic blems.  Blanks themself are first rate.  Blemished blanks have small, almost imperceivable, imperfections in the paint that make them not production quality.  These blanks are U.S. made by T.L. Johnson Companies.

Get more than 65% off a high end Extra Fast action T L Johnson Legacy Series Graphite Blank, his Legacy Light or his Synergy Light 2 Blank.  Terry has made available some blems that are either discontinued colors or have minor cosmetic flaws that are almost unperceivable scratches in the paint.  Being the perfectionist he is, Terry can't sell these as new so we are going to blow them out at unbelievable prices. These blanks normally sell for $342.50 now $125.00 $120.00. Completed production rods are $685.  
He is also blowing out his discontinued 3 piece Legacy Light and TETON series.  Normally these blanks are $342.50 now $125.00 $99.00-$104.00.

Blems are sold as-is with no warranty.  If you break it, sections may be able to be replaced on a case by case basis at a cost of $45 per section (if available) plus shipping both ways.  For these blank prices, it's probably more cost effective to buy another blank.
New 2011 Lineup of T.L. Johnson fly rods

New 2011 Lineup of T.L. Johnson fly rods

TL Johnson Fly Rods
The new 2011 lineup of fly rods are here!  His name written on every rod. This is not a printed logo like most rods. It is the name of the man who oversaw the wrapping of graphite on a mandrel, selected the resin, and inspected the wrapping of guides and applied the finish. Built with better components and Terry's perfectionist personality, his rods are better than ever.  Check them out and get your low serial number rod before the other guys!  It's time for the big names to build it right or go home.  This is T.L. Johnson country and he is gunning for your business.

If you intend to release the fish or even have a chance of landing that trophy, a well designed fishing net makes the difference.  Premium quality, high performance landing nets individually handcrafted and designed for freshwater.

Blue Ribbon Nets are built to last a lifetime with 4-wood construction consisting of a variety of combinations of Spruce, Ash, Cherry, and Walnut. The wood is finished in a hand rubbed marine grade satin. They have developed and manufactured their own net bags from a fine soft mesh. These bags feature a double taped flat center seam, resulting in a bag that is gentle on fish and long lasting. This design and method of construction are unequaled in the industry. All models carried by FLY FISHING CRAZY are also available in either light weight and/or heavy rubber net bags.

Perfect Fly Fishing Lineup

Perfect Fly Fishing Lineup

FLY FISHING CRAZY has assembled a lineup of some of the best FLY RODS, REELS, ROD BLANKS, FISH ART and FISHING APPAREL available today! The quality of the rods from the manufacturers on this site will not only match, but in most cases, surpass the quality of the big name brands that the FLY FISHING community recognizes. Call me CRAZY, but I want to be able to sell you, my customer, the best products at the best prices on the internet. If you can find these products for less, let me know.

The FLY RODS are from Graywolf Products, T.L. Johnson Rod Co., Elkhorn Rod and Reel, Stone Creek Ltd. and Shelbyville Rods with fishing vests from Stone Creek. They offer Trout RODS, Big Game and Spey RODS. Most are High modulus Graphite, but if you're CRAZY about Bamboo FLY RODS, you'll find them here, too. There's also a resurgence in Glass rods. Check out the ones from T.L. Johnson, they've come a long way since the '80s. The latest high-tech glass fibers and low modulus graphite are used to create a rod that you can really feel the loading of the ROD, allowing you to cast with power, but have the delicacy to really feel the fight of smaller fish.

Build your own FLY ROD from the selection of BLANKS and KITS. We have high quality REELS that rival the big names in durability and smoothness of drag at more affordable prices.

Our Fish Art Gallery is one of the best on the internet. Fish Art and Fishing Art prints from Mike Savlen Studios, Derek DeYoung, Rebecca Haydock, A.D. Maddox and now, recently added Whitefish Studio - Bob White artist.

The solitude of a trout stream or the calm waters of a lake have a healing power that can't be explained, but also, can't be denied!  Healing our soldiers can be a long process. We help them reconnect with the peace for which they fought so hard!
I am a proud volunteer for Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing.  The Denver chapter is currently teaching disabled Veterans to tie flies and cast a fly rod.  We now offer rod building classes for veterans.  The flies they tie will be lost or tattered with use, but a fly rod can be be a life long companion in their fly fishing efforts.
Support our Disabled Veterans. We owe them so much more for keeping us safe and protecting our Freedom. Visit ProjectHealingWaters.org today and get involved in your area.
