Review: Thomas & Thomas Paradigm fly rod

When we planned the trip, some eight months out, we had anticipated our timing to be near perfect. If things went as they should, we’d be hitting the water during the ideal week, just as springtime mayfly hatches really started to kick off — rousing the trout from their lingering winter lethargy, sending them in chase of the sort of bounty they hadn’t seen in more than half a year. We’d spend the week casting delicate dry flies to eager browns and rainbows on the region’s spring creeks and lake-fed freestoners.

Ultralight fly rods—what are they good for?

The Paradigm is surely one of the greatest dry fly rods of all time. Just ask experienced anglers. Inspired by the original, over twenty year later, T&T has designed the new Paradigm for the 21st century. While the advance of technology has pushed the limits of rod weight, line speed and casting distance, the essence of stalking a rising trout and presenting the fly remains unchanged.
