Bob Meiser Spey & Switch Rods
I'm really excited about being the Meiser rep for Alberta , the fly fishing world is changing so fast when it comes to
trout fishing with longer rods ,
light trout spey rods are the ticket on the bigger western rivers these days ,
throwing streamers or double wets , and when nymphing it's just a simple flick and your in the seam even
from a drift boat it is such a ease to fish with a longer rod , and in the winter time you can stand out of the water on shore
, stay warm and still hit the middle of the river if needed , throwing streamers and cover lots of water fast
i have some custom built Meiser rods on hand to show you and let you try em out , if you'd like a chance to
see just what all the talk is about , and who really builds the best spey and switch rods on the market ,
and how perfect his rods are finished , contact me and till you get one in your hands ,pictures are nice but nothing
like feeling it , i can even get you whatever model you want to try out befor you spend your money , will anyone else let
you have a rod to demo to make sure you really like it befor you put down your money ,
this way we know your getting the rod that suits you and you'll like it ,
so many choices you can make with a custom Meiser rod if your thinking about getting a spey or a switch rod
for trout , steelhead or salmon fishing and want only the very best , then call me befor you buy a orvis , sage or loop
, for around the same amount of money i can get you into a custom built rod with all the bells and whistles
,

was made perfect if i ever seen one for the Bow River
i also have if your going steelhead fishing a 13 ft 7 wt in the Highlander S series custom built , that you
