Epic Ambassador Peter Corzilius reflects on a recent Sea Run Brown Trout session in Sweden

Catching a large trout on a fly rod is the greatest achievement for many fly anglers.

A tad short, a bit stiff, and with a plastic triangular tube that didn’t hold its shape and couldn’t keep its cap, it worked, and fairly well. Next I stepped up to an Orvis Golden Eagle, the last glass fly rod I purchased until just a few years ago. But that’s where it ended as I was swept up by the graphite tide.
