Collection: Cortland Fly Rods

Cortland Line Company has been a trusted name in fly fishing for over 100 years — best known for producing some of the finest fly lines in the world, but equally committed to building fly rods that deliver exceptional performance at accessible price points. Cortland fly rods are built for anglers who want quality construction, reliable performance, and the backing of a brand with a century of fly fishing expertise — without the premium price tag of boutique rod makers. Glenwood Springs Outdoors carries Cortland fly rods for anglers throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and Western Colorado.

Cortland Competition Series

The Cortland Competition series is built for serious fly anglers who demand tournament-level performance in a production rod. Fast-action blanks with precise taper designs deliver tight loops, long casts, and the accuracy needed for technical presentations on demanding water. The Competition series is an excellent choice for experienced anglers who want a high-performance rod without the wait time and cost of a custom build.

Cortland Rods for Western Colorado Fishing

Cortland fly rods are well-suited to the diverse fishing conditions of Western Colorado — from the technical dry fly water of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan to the big water nymphing and streamer fishing of the Colorado River. A 9-foot 5-weight covers the majority of trout fishing situations in the Roaring Fork Valley, while a 9-foot 6-weight or 7-weight handles larger rivers and streamer applications. Our staff can help you match the right Cortland rod to your fishing style and target waters.

Value & Performance

One of Cortland’s greatest strengths is delivering genuine fly fishing performance at price points that make quality gear accessible to more anglers. Whether you’re buying your first serious fly rod or adding a dedicated nymphing or streamer rod to your quiver, Cortland offers excellent value without compromising on the performance characteristics that matter on the water.
