A Euro nymphing reel based on Lamson's Guru S platform, the E-Series emerges to strike the perfect balance between form and function. With a super-large arbor and narrow profile, everything on this reel is purposefully designed with Euro nymphing in mind including a new larger drag k**b with precision clicks and stealthy anodized finish.

Straight mono or thin level running lines are fully contained and encased in our HD full frame design. With lines protected and dimensions dialed, a streamlined weight system - featuring 3 different weights (1/2oz, 1oz,1 1/2oz) - enables you to precisely balance your reel with your rod.

Now available at rootriverrodco.com and in store along with the top selling Lamson Liquid S.

It’s time to soak up the sun and get your wet wading socks on. A nice heat wave has hit the Driftless for the weekend.

Caddis are out during the day and even have been seeing glimpses of Hendricksons in the afternoon. This time of year is fantastic dry fly fishing.

Stop in and stock up on flies, floatant and tippet. Last thing our Patagonia wet wading socks are flying off the shelf this week so grab a pair before they are gone.
