Orvis Hydros Fly Reel — Orvis' Bestselling Freshwater Reel, Now Even Better
The Orvis Hydros Fly Reel is Orvis' bestselling freshwater reel — and the redesigned version takes everything anglers love about this proven favorite and makes it tougher and more user-friendly. Available in Olive, Black, Flats Blue, and Coffee in sizes II (3-5wt), III (5-7wt), and IV (7-9wt).
The redesigned Hydros features a new end-to-end sealed drag system for added durability in all freshwater conditions. A larger arbor delivers faster line retrieval, and the highly ergonomic drag knob makes on-the-water adjustments fast and intuitive. Tool-free left/right hand retrieve conversion means you can swap retrieval direction streamside without any tools.
Built from Type II anodized aluminum frame and spool with a machined aluminum handle, the Hydros is the same trusted workhorse anglers have relied on for years — now with refined fit, finish, and durability that reflects Orvis' commitment to quality.
