In the Fall of 2009, Beth Hood, Geoff Langell & Chris Strainer took a road trip to NW Canada to visit Gene Shimel for 8 days of fly fishing for wild, powerful Pacific Steelhead in the Skeena watershed.  We got to field test the new Orvis Helios Spey Rods and Switch Rods.  They are in a word - AWESOME!  Stop by or give us a call or e-mail if you have any questions about Spey Rods, Switch Rods or the Helios line up for 2009 and 2010.
