Islander Precision Reels

There’s a real art to matching the hatch.

Dialing in the right insect, the right size, the right presentation and watching a fish confidently sip your fly off the surface. It’s what draws a lot of us in.
But not every day lines up like that.

When fish aren’t feeding, or when you’re working new water trying to locate them, attractor patterns can be the difference between guessing and getting into fish.
Bold, visible, and built to trigger a reaction, these flies help you cover water, find depth, and turn curiosity into eats.

In our latest blog, longtime Islander ambassador Tom Johannesen breaks down when to lean on attractors, how to fish them effectively, and why they earn a permanent spot in the box.

Introducing Oyster River Edition TR3

With only 100 available, this limited release features original artwork by renowned B.C. artist Roy Henry Vickers, brought to life through machined engraving inspired by the salmon lifecycle that defines British Columbia’s coast.

Each reel supports the enhancement of salmon habitat on the Oyster River, just south of Campbell River, long dubbed the Salmon Capital of the World and home to the historic Tyee Club.

$300 from every reel is donated to the Oyster River Enhancement Society.

We couldn’t be more proud to collaborate with our friend and support the work being done on this watershed. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to life.

Available now online & at select retailers.

Not all heroes wear waders…
but a lot of them do.

Just south of Campbell River, long dubbed the Salmon Capital of the World, volunteers have spent decades restoring salmon habitat on the Oyster River.

We’ve been working on something special to support their efforts.

Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing more very soon.

Nothing better than hearing this from the water.

"What a great reel! Didn't find the steelhead today but the C5 is so nice I had a great time. I love my old Steelheader and I've got another top shelf reel (and it's a great reel) but this C5 is in a class by itself! Smooth, effortless casting, easily hitting casts 20 feet longer than I can pull off with the other reels. Really smooth drifts, stunning looks...please pass on to the guys that designed it!"
