Description
Consider the Warm Springs our hotrod! Affectionately nicknamed “Old Blue”, the Warm Springs is the Montana Casting Co.® meat and potatoes fly rod—smooth, reliable, and tough.
This is a slightly heavier rod; designed with grit in mind, we made sure it still casts smooth as butter. With a fast action, powerful Toray carbon fiber backbone, and durable build, the Warm Springs is ready for all your future fly fishing adventures. What stories will you be telling around the campfire?
This 9 ft fly fishing rod is made with a Toray high-modulus rod blank. It combines high performance with durability and is great for all skill levels. The Warm Springs comes in your choice of 2-piece and 4-piece models. Though designed for use in fresh water environments, it is just as suitable for saltwater fishing.
All of our fly rods come with a rod sock and rod/reel combo case.

All Montana Casting Co.® rods are finished with the highest quality epoxy and thread wraps with metallic highlights. Look for our signature metallic "spring" around the middle ferrule—a symbol of each rod’s ability to build, store, and release energy in perfect harmony.
A note on the Warm Springs model: Fewer ferrules mean fewer interruptions in a rod’s flexibility and performance. For peak performance, we recommend ordering the Warm Springs as a two-piece rod, but we’ve tacked on a four-piece option just in case you’re looking for something a bit more travel-ready.
*Always remember to wash all your gear with fresh water after a hard day of fishing in the salt. Saltwater will cause corrosion without proper washing and maintenance of your gear.
The Warm Springs is named for the Warm Springs fishing access site on the Lower Madison, a place of many memories… The lower Madison is a diverse and beautiful stretch of water. Beginning in the remote Bear Trap Canyon, it flows down into a series of lazy twists and turns that meet with the Gallatin and Jefferson rivers—forming the mighty Missouri. Full of long runs, riffles and moss beds, the Warm Springs fishing access is just one point at which to enjoy this amazing leg of the Madison. I spent many summer evenings trying to out-fish my brother along these banks. We’d stay out until the growl of our stomachs threatened to scare the fish away; only then would we return to camp to feast on campfire-charred potatoes and the evening’s catch. Those nights, we stayed up long after the sun went down listening to our father’s stories and watching the stars turn overhead. The next morning, we’d be right back on the river—another day, another memory.

Craig Fly Rod
It’d be great if we could talk Mother Nature into blue skies and windless days every time we wanted to hit the river. Unfortunately for us, she rarely cooperates. Whether it’s rainclouds over a high mountain lake or blistering heat in the open plains, we’ve all had to brave the elements for the love of fly fishing—and our rods are no different. The Craig fly rod, like all Montana Casting Co. rods, was designed with harsh conditions in mind.
Dearborn Fly Rod
We put performance first in all our fly fishing gear—that’s why the Dearborn fly rod combines a high-octane fast action and, woven carbon composition to help you achieve precision casting in the toughest conditions. Learn more about how we’ve applied all the Montanan grit, experience, and values at our disposal to bring you fly rods that will out-fish your expectations at every cast.
Warm Springs Fly Rod
The Warm Springs is our flagship fly fishing rod. We poured every ounce of our collective craftsmanship and fly fishing know-how into its design because we believe a fly rod is more than the sum of its parts. It’s your tool. It’s your connection to the river and every memory you make on the water.
