The Foundation of Performance

The Yellowstone II Fly Rod is the core of the Jackson Hole Fly Company lineup — our flagship rod, and an exceptionally balanced, fast-action build for anglers who demand precision, versatility, and lasting durability across every kind of freshwater.

Constructed from high-performance IM8 graphite, the Yellowstone II recovers fast and crisp — which in real terms means tighter loops, more accurate casts, and the power to punch a fly through wind when conditions turn. Whether you're drifting dry flies on a spring creek, indicator nymphing a tailwater, or stripping streamers on big water, it adapts without fighting you.

Available in weights 3WT through 7WT and lengths from 7'0" to 9'0", it lets you dial in exactly the setup your water calls for — and the "Choose your setup" guide below tells you which.

Premium components elevate both performance and feel. Titanium line guides cut friction for smoother line shoot and easier distance. Portuguese cork grips stay comfortable and sure through long days on the water. The signature burled maple reel seat pairs classic looks with a secure, corrosion-resistant lockup.

Each rod ships with a protective sock and durable travel tube, and is backed by our Lifetime Warranty — built to fish hard, travel often, and perform season after season.

Best for
  • All-around trout fishing across rivers, creeks, and stillwater
  • Anglers who want one versatile rod instead of several specialists
  • Dry flies, nymphing, and streamers — matched to the right weight
  • Travel, thanks to the 4-piece design and included tube
  • Buyers who want premium components and a lifetime warranty in a rod they'll keep

Choose Your Setup

Not sure which to buy? Match the water you fish most:

  • 7'0" 3WT – Small, brushy creeks and tight cover. Delicate presentations, panfish and small trout, short accurate casts where a 9' rod won't fit.
  • 7'0" 4WT – Creeks and small rivers with a little more backbone. Light dry-fly and nymph work where you still want a short, maneuverable rod.
  • 9'0" 4WT – Technical trout water and delicate dry-fly fishing with the reach of a full-length rod. Great mend control on spring creeks and tailwaters. (Low stock – limited units remaining.)
  • 9'0" 5WT – The all-around answer. If you fish one rod for trout across rivers, lakes, and most dry/nymph/light-streamer situations, this is it. Best starting point for most anglers.
  • 9'0" 6WT – Bigger water, bigger flies, and wind. Hopper-dropper rigs, larger trout, light streamers, and breezy days where a 5WT gets pushed around.
  • 9'0" 7WT with Fighting Butt – Streamers, bass, carp, and windy big-water days. The fighting butt adds leverage for fighting heavier fish.

📌 Pro Tip: If you only buy one, go 9'0" 5WT. It's the most versatile trout setup made and handles 80% of freshwater situations most anglers will ever fish.

WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS SAY?

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 67 reviews.

From order to receipt, the process was professional and timely. The rod is beautiful and looking forward to getting after it on the river!

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

I was shopping for a fly rod upgrade. I looked at all the big name rods. Kept coming back to the Yellowstone. What sold me was the call I placed to Brian at JHF. He picked up right away and gave me the confidence that the rod was a good fit for me and they stand by their warranty. I fished the rod yesterday and was completely happy with the performance. I’m a novice fly fisherman. My casts improved with this rod once I got the timing. Very happy with my purchase.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Excellent quality and craftsmanship from the reel seat to the tip. I bought this 6wt-9’ Yellowstone II for streamer and sinking lines after purchasing a Yellowstone II 4wt-9’ last year. Yellowstone II rods are unbeatable in quality and value. You’ll love it on the first cast.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

After trying my friend's Yellowstone II 9' 6WT rod, I was immediately impressed and ended up ordering one for myself that same night. The rod's precision and performance were exceptional, and its action was exactly what I was looking for.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

I love the action on this rod. Amazing precision and casts like a dream. I own a handful of “brand name” rods that were double or triple the price and the Yellowstone preforms equally as well.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

I purchased the Yellowstone II 9 ft 7 weight rod awhile back for use on a trip to the Madison River. The feel and ease of casting was amazing. The guide complemented the look of the rod and I let him make a few casts. His words were "this is a sweet casting rod". Since that trip I've purchased a Yellowstone II 5 weight and 6 weight. I might add that your customer service is outstanding!

Best rod I’ve owned. Been flying fishing for 30 years, using Sage, Orvis and Loomis. Stiff action, great power through wind, water loads with ease, fast action with minimal effort. Thank you!

Customer photo review of Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Bought this rod in a 4WT 9' earlier in the year and finally had the chance to use it on the Beaverkill river in the Catskills and the first fish was this nice rainbow (first of many fish landed). The rod casts smooth, accurate and it is light and comfortable in the hand. My new go to rod.

Customer photo review of Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Went with the 9’ 5WT, feels & casts great. Practice only at this point but can’t wait to get out on the water.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Love the action of the rod, paired it with Lamson Guru reel, nice balance. Was looking for rod for larger Steamers for Browns on White River in MO. and Ark. This rod will do the job. Appearance and quality is very nice.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

I loved it. However I have upgraded to You’re 9’4# instead. No problem exchanging Rods. Loved you customer service five star.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Really like the rod. Hopefully I can catch some big fish on the last day the Methow is open. If we’re really luck this year we’ll have a steelhead season and I’ll get to put my new rod to good use.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Rod feels great and does an excellent job on casting

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Fast service. Rod is beautiful and as advertised. The fast action 6 wt. with 7 wt. line slings it out there like Nolan Ryan. Very, very happy with it. Now, can you send me a free T-shirt for this review? XXL Thanks

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Purchased this rod to replace my other five-weight whose tip section was snapped by a 28" steelhead last year. The Yellowstone rod required no breaking in or adjustment period. From the first time I cast it, I have been extremely impressed and pleased with how smooth it feels and how accurate my casts have been. Very, very happy!

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Nice rod for the money. I used it with a dry dropper. I was casting on a somewhat windy day and struggled to get my fly to land where I wanted. Nice looking. Would be nice to have dots to line up the sections. This is going to work well in late summer/early fall.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Your Santa and I was the kid waiting for my gift. The Yellowstone "brand" on the rod and reel are like decals on race car. You all were great to do business with and I appreciate your great customers service. We will do business again in the near future. Thank you my friends.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Excellent rod.nice quality very accurate.alignment dots would have been nice.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Well made rod and very light. Am able to cast to other side of Roaring River in Arkansas (about 55 feet) with average effort.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Love my new Yellowstone 5wt! My guide had 2 in the boat, and bought one the next day! Major upgrade for me.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Recently purchased the Yellowstone II Fly Rod, 9’ 0“ / 5wt, and a Yellowstone Grizzly 5/6 wt reel. The casting action is smooth, the craftsmanship superb, and a beautiful setup that just feels good. But what impressed me the most was that Jackson Hole Fly Company also setup my new reel with the backing and fly line that I ordered too. This small gesture was not expected as the website did not mention it during the ordering process. In addition to their equipment, JHFC spooling my lines professionally has gained my confidence and trust! Well done!

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

The rod is exactly as you folks described it. I wanted a tougher rod to fish Smallmouth bass in these north Arkansas streams. I'm already catching fish. This 9' 6wt rod is perfect for my needs. By the way the rod is beautifully finished. ED W.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

This rod is amazing! The casting distance and accuracy are impressive. Definitely a five-star product.

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

Excellent rod for this price. I throw Loomis, Hardy, Thomas and Thomas & Douglas; this was a purchase for a high mountain truck rod. Something that is always available whenever you come across some positive water. I’ve thrown it twice 6+ hours per day. It will drop a smaller dry fly with some ease. Just used Salmonfly with a dropper; it’s some work, but, will drop it close or far if needed. Loads fairly easy and responds to battling Washington wind. Pleasantly surprised…

Yellowstone II Fly Rod

I'm blown away by the performance of the Yellowstone II Fly Rod. The smooth casting allows for precise and effortless fishing. It's hard to believe such a high-quality rod is available at this price.
