Orvis Limited-Edition Fly Fishing Reel Benefits Park Fisheries

The first one hundred donors of $1,000 or more to the Yellowstone Fisheries Initiative will receive a very special gift -- a limited-edition Yellowstone Park Foundation fly fishing reel.

Yellowstone is a last stronghold for native fish in the region, but in recent years Yellowstone and westslope cutthroat trout have become imperiled.

The Yellowstone Park Foundation, recognizing the importance of native trout to the viability of the Yellowstone ecosystem and the future of angling in the Park, has thus undertaken a Fisheries Fund Initiative. This Initiative will support science and research of the highest caliber that will inform Park management decisions with regard to the protection and preservation of native cutthroat trout.

The Orvis Company has generously donated all costs associated with producing and shipping these limited-edition fly fishing reels as a way to support the Yellowstone Park Foundation's efforts to protect Yellowstone's unique fisheries.

Each reel is individually engraved and numbered, and only 100 reels were made. The value of each reel is $150.

The reel is a modified version of the popular Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock III, with the following features:

• Machined from bar stock 6262-T6 air-craft-grade aluminum for durability and low weight
• Stainless steel gearing is durable and virtually maintenance-free
• Adjustable Rulon® offset disc drag mechanism recognized as the most dependable in the industry
• Allows for easy switching from right-hand to left-hand operation
• Saltwater-proof 3” diameter, 3.95 oz., line wts. 4-7
