England has long been home to the artisans of classic fly rod building and our 3rd generation rod builders take pride on maintaining that tradition of fine craftsmanship in each of the rods we produce.

Over the years the scope of modern flyfishing has broadened with the addition of new quarry and exotic destinations. The Charles Clemes workshops have met these challenges by combining new innovative production techniques and precision engineering with the demands of professionals in the field. It is on the dedication and attention to detail which our master craftsmen express in meeting these challenges that we have built our reputation for producing arguably the finest fly rods in the world.

When fishing with a Charles Clemes you will take comfort in the knowledge that you have in your hands not only an object of beauty to be enjoyed in its own right, but a fine product of the rod makers craft giving you the utmost in reliability and performance.

"How I choose to catch fish is more important than merely catching them" – Charles Clemes
