  • Maine Fly Company

    Maine Fly Company honors our state’s fly fishing culture and heritage through the quality craftsmanship of our small batch rods. Our rods are carefully built by hand here in Maine by a select group of master craftsmen; each one-of-a-kind batch is named for one of our stunning waterways, reflecting their colors, beauty, and endurance.

    Maine Fly Co. was founded in part to celebrate our founder, Jeff Davis', late father's passion for fly fishing and Maine. It’s the heritage of Maine fly fishing that keeps alive his father’s spirit, and that he hopes to pass along to his three sons and future generations everywhere. In his name, we celebrate the sport of fly fishing, show appreciation for fine craftsmanship, and remain committed to the sustainability of Maine’s waterways.

    Maine Fly Co. is dedicated to inspiring and supporting the intergenerational love of fishing for all members of the family.
