Scott Radian and Douglas Sky G

[270WINCHESTER]

I am in search of a new 5wt and the Scott Radian and new Douglas Sky G rod are both at the top of my consideration list. However i cant find any fly shops that carry either of them. Im located near Calgary but am willing to drive a bit to take a look at these rods before i pull the trigger. Any recommendations as to where i might be able to find such rods?

Thanks

Iron bow fly shop in Calgary sells Scott rods I have a couple radian rods in a 4 and 6 weight and really like them

I thought that one of the crowsnest shops sold Douglas rods, may be worth a call.

Crowsnest Cafe and Fly Shop is where I got my Douglas Sky 6 wt from, great people to deal with.

I bought the rod in 2018 solely based on it winning the 2016 Yellowstone Angler Shootout hoping it was as good as advertised and it is. Love the feel, loads awesome and it shoots line very nicely. I am not the prettiest caster but even in windy conditions I can get it out there where I want. The new Sky G looks to be great also according to the Yellowstone guys.

Have had a Scott Radian 5wt for a few years. Luv it. Iron Bow carries them.

Kootenay Fly Shop in Fernie has full line of Douglas rods.

I have been eyeing up the Sky series as well.

Bought the DHF 7wt a few years ago. It has caught every type of salmon and trout species you can think of. Excellent bargain rod

Fell and broke/lost tip last year. Emailed company to explain. No questions asked sent me a tip the next week. That is service!
