At J.A. Henry Rod & Reel Co., craftsmanship has always gone hand-in-hand with conservation. From the start, we set out to build fly rods & cases that honor tradition while helping protect the waters and fish we love. Today, we’re proud to share an important milestone on that journey: together with our loyal customers, we have raised more than $10,000 for Trout Unlimited’s Coaster Brook Trout Initiative through the sales of our Coaster Migratory 8wt fly rod.
The Coaster Brook Trout, once abundant along the southern Lake Superior shoreline and its tributaries, has dwindled to only a fraction of its historic range. Known for their strength, beauty, and resilience, these migratory brook trout are more than just a prized catch; they’re a living symbol of wild waters and healthy ecosystems.
A Thank You to the Angling Community
This milestone could not have been reached without you—the anglers who put our rods in your hands, the stewards who believe in protecting fisheries, and the storytellers who remind us what’s at stake. Your support fuels both our workbench and the waters we all cherish.
Every cast made with a Coaster rod is more than just fishing—it’s a contribution to bringing these incredible fish back to their native range.
