Package Price: $699.99 - 739.99 + Free Shipping
The Pacific Northwest offers a unique opportunity to fly fish from protected saltwater beaches for species like sea run cutthroat trout and salmon with lightweight fly rods. Near our location, within a few minutes an angler can be on a local Puget Sound beach casting a line for these great fish. We've put together this rod, reel and line outfit for anglers to take advantage of these fishing opportunities knowing you have the perfect gear. Our Intermediate level package is a combination of excellent quality and great value for an outstanding outfit which outperforms its price point.
Your outfit begins with an Echo Boost Blue fly rod which impressed us the moment we first cast them. The Echo Boost Blue is a light, fast-action rod perfectly suited to the line we have included and the casting conditions encountered on the beaches. The outfit also comes with a high quality Galvan Rush LT reel, a machined aluminum reel that can withstand harsh saltwater for a lifetime of use (always wash off your entire outfit with freshwater after each use). Finally, we included a Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan Full Intermediate fly line.
Your reel will also come with backing and the line spooled up and ready to fish. We've included a 9' Umpqua Deceiver X Fluorocarbon leader, so all you need to do when your outfit arrives is tie a fly on and go fishing!

Echo Boost Blue Fly Rods
Echo Boost Blue rods are fantastic fast-action rods that are capable of casting big flies, on big water, in high winds, with mega high line speed and tight loops!

Galvan Rush LT Reels
Galvan Rush LT reels are workhorses of fly reels. Corrosion resistant and saltwater safe, fully machined aluminum reels built in the USA. Galvan Rush LT reels have incredibly smooth and reliable drags, and feature arbor sizes that can hold a lot of backing compared to other reels in the same sizes. More info.

Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan full intermediate Fly Line
Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan full intermediate lines are aggressive lines! Made to provide excellent turnover with big heavy flies. These lines are two line sizes heavy. Which loads rods quickly for less false casts to get your fly to its target. Less false casts means more time fishing, which means more fish! These are a favorite of ours here at Pacific Fly Fishers for shallow water bass, Salmon, and Sea-Run Cutthroat off of the beaches in Puget sound. The Sonar Titan Full Intermediate sinks at 1.25 inches a second which will give you a tighter connection to your fly as well as keep it the zone while stripping flies off the beach or in a lake. More info.
-
Umpqua Deceiver X Fluorocarbon Leader
Umpqua Deceiver X fluorocarbon tapered leaders are great for fishing the clear waters of saltwater beaches. Fluorocarbon is denser than nylon monofilament so it is ideal for saltwater fishing and stripping flies because it sinks better than mono and it is more abrasion resistant than mono. Fluorocarbon also has fewer light reflecting qualities than mono, so it tends to virtually disappear in the water. More info.
-
Scientific Anglers Backing
Your outfit will come with the perfect amount backing already loaded onto the reel and attached to your line. We only use the best knots to rig your setup. We use the Bimini Twist with a lock to form a loop then seal the knot with glue to then loop-to-loop connect your backing to the back of your fly line. More Info.
Choose from the following models
Echo Boost Blue Fly Rod - 6wt
The 6wt is the go-to size for most anglers fishing beaches on Puget Sound. This rod, like all the rods in the Echo Boost Blue family, bombs casts with ease. Whether you're casting from a boat or bombing casts as far as you can from the beach, this rod is a great choice. It casts the Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan full intermediate extremely well, and has enough backbone to handle good-sized salmon, if you happen to hook one.

Echo Boost Blue Fly Rod - 7wt
A 7wt rod is what we recommend for silvers and pink salmon in the salt when fishing from the beach. The Echo Boost Blue 7wt is capable of handling some pretty large fish, and is a ton of fun on hot coho and pink salmon. This 7wt is truly a cannon! It can throw some pretty large flies, and handle some moderately weighted flies, but absolutely excels at throwing light and unweighted flies a mile. This would be the rod you'd want for light salmon work on the beach, and would be great on the river for pinks as well.

Echo Boost Blue Fly Rod - 8wt
The 8wt is your adult coho rod. Whether you're fishing off a beach in Puget Sound, up in B.C. from a boat, or off the coast of Alaska, this rod will have all of the bases covered. When we think about this rod, we think, long casts, big flies, and big hard fighting fish. This rod has no problem hucking weighted Clousers, large wind resistant bait fish patterns, and when you hook that big silver or chinook, you'll have plenty of rod to really put the screws to him!
