Orvis Helios Trout Series Fly Rod Overview

If you’re a trout fisherman, the all-new 4th generation Orvis Helios F and D series of fly-fishing rods offers the best tool for every angling situation. We’ve got you covered from boots to boats, whether you’re sneaking through the rhododendrons five miles up a trail or battling the wind on the Missouri . . . and everything in between. The F and D configurations offer an even greater ability to tailor the Helios fly rod to your needs.
The Helios F rods are all about finesse-accuracy and delicate presentation. That sipping trout holding just above a boulder at 50 feet is still a challenge, but you’ll find that your skills are amplified by the Helios and you can make shots that seemed unthinkable before. However, if you need to switch to a nymphing rig or the wind kicks up, the Helios F rods are versatile enough to handle the situation.
Helios D rods are for casting bigger flies farther, often in difficult conditions. Big Western tailwaters can test an angler’s casting and presentation skills, and these rods will help you stand up to the challenge-whether you’re chucking hopper-dropper rigs or articulated streamers. But again, if you’ve been slinging streamers all day and then come upon a hatch of blue-winged olives, the Helios D can also deliver a small fly where you need it without spooking your quarry.
To cast a Helios fly rod is to discover how it feels to set your cast on autopilot to achieve pinpoint accuracy, whether you’re making a close-quarters shot or a long-distance call. Available in 29 models-in both Distance and Finesse actions-Helios is the most advanced fly rod ever conceived, and the culmination of nearly two decades of constant progression. Pushing accuracy into the realm of total intuition, it represents the industry’s biggest leap forward to date. The new Helios is where accuracy comes alive in a way you’ve never thought possible.
