Stillwater

Designed for Serious Stillwater Fly Fishing

The Echo Stillwater Fly Rod series was developed specifically for anglers who demand refined performance when fishing lakes and reservoirs. Built around the needs of high-level stillwater anglers, these rods move beyond the limitations of standard freshwater fly rods by focusing on the specialised demands of modern lake fishing techniques.

Whether fishing from float tubes, boats, pontoons, or shorelines, the Stillwater series is designed to improve efficiency, casting control, and overall fishability across a broad range of lake & dam environments.

Purpose-Built for Lake Fishing

Traditional fly rods often struggle to balance the power required for long casts and sinking lines with the finesse needed for delicate presentations and subtle takes. The Stillwater series was developed to bridge that gap.

Working alongside respected stillwater angler Pete Erickson, Echo refined the rod series around the practical requirements of advanced lake fishing. The result is a highly balanced medium-fast action rod capable of handling modern lake techniques while maintaining the sensitivity and feel required for technical presentations.

The rods generate enough power to comfortably manage long casts, heavier flies, and specialised lake lines while still protecting lighter tippet and delivering subtle presentations when conditions demand precision.

Powerful Yet Refined

The Stillwater series excels across a wide range of lake fishing applications including indicator fishing, washing line techniques, pulling flies, and deeper presentations using sinking lines. The medium-fast action provides a controlled and smooth casting feel while maintaining the reserve power needed for larger fish and changing conditions.

Designed for competition-level performance without becoming overly specialised or difficult to fish, the rods remain approachable and highly versatile for everyday stillwater anglers as well.

Built Around Real Fishing Performance

The Echo Stillwater Fly Rod series reflects a practical approach to specialised lake fishing equipment — refined, balanced, and purpose-built for anglers who spend serious time chasing trout and other freshwater species in stillwater environments.
