Orvis Hydros II EURO Fly Reel, AvidMax Gear Review

Orvis Hydros Trout is a versatile fly line that stays clean, casts easily, and mends well. Orvis Hydros Trout is our most versatile trout line in the Hydros Fly Line Series. The smooth weight-forward taper is designed to handle all of the demands of trout fishing, from throwing dry flies to multi-nymph rigs, and streamer fishing. The long head makes casting and loop stability easier and makes for better mending.

Orvis Hydros II EURO Fly Reel, AvidMax Gear Review

Our Hydros II fly-fishing reel gets a full cage and tighter tolerances in this updated Euro nymphing version.

Hydros II Euro Reel

The new Orvis Hydros Reel is the result of Orvis' own desire to make something great, that much better. Orvis took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. Orvis changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use. Orvis further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism.
