Trouble at Home? Silver Creek is an intoxicating problem. Languid currents and clear water lay bare your plans. The fish have advanced degrees in entomology, with ample time to study the menu.
And this is our home turf.
If Silver Creek is the problem, Purist is the solution: Purpose-built for technical fly fishing; for accuracy and finesse, for long leaders and small flies. From its 2 piece construction to the light and spare hardware specification, everything about Purist is focused on reducing upper section weight to enhance energy delivery, recovery, feedback, and feel.
When it comes to action, it's all about the balance of power. The Purist blank is very progressive, with a supple tip that loads easily and short, a mid-section that maintains tracking and stability, and a solid butt section that stores and releases energy with perfect control.
Purist was designed and tested, revised and fine-tuned and tested, and tested and tested (and tested) on some of the most exacting water on the planet.
The others will seem easy.

Impressive 9’ 4wt Med action

Impressive 9’ 4wt
Med action. Ton of fun with dry flies. Will still throw some streamers and nymph with an indicator.

Unmatched performance

I've been using the Lamson purist 4wt two piece matched with the Guro-S 4wt reel, and it immediately became my favorite rod and reel outfit. The action, sensitivity, performance on turning over flies and presenting them with surgical accuracy has taken my fly fishing skills to the next level. As professional fly fishing guide, my success depends on reliable equipment, and Lamson has it in spades. Thank you again for turning me onto Lamson's unmatched rods and reels.

High praise, thanks! The purist (esspecially in the 4wt) is a favortie here at the office too.

Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne

I picked up a purist 4wt at Anglers Fly Shop here in Boise last week and fished with it the other day. I paired it with my Guru and a size 20 olive smoke jumper. I can't believe the ease of accuracy you get from this rod. While working the fly out to the spot I wanted it to drop I had a trout breach the surface and strike at my fly. Being it's December and not getting any more action from a dry fly, I switched to nymphing. Running an Idaho Stank about 3 ft under an indicator produce a 17" whitefish and an 18" rainbow. Handed the rod to my son to test out and he refused to give it back. About 15 minutes later my son caught another 18" rainbow. Light, accurate, fast....this rod is sure to slay the trout. My son will have to buy his own purist because it's not leaving my hands again. Dry flies or roll casting nymphs, the purest is simply phenomenal.

AMEN!

My new 5 Weight workhorse

After several years of use I added a Lamson reel to my old TFO that I really liked so when it came time to look for a new 5 wt I picked up a Purest and headed for the North Fork of the C'DA. Spent over 8 hours fishing a wide range of flies, including hoppers (w/ a dropper) to very small dries.I didn't want to come off the river and had my best day on this river in years! It's a great rod that I look forward to fishing for years to come. I'd definitely recommend it.

Right on! The Purist is a dream to cast, glad it was there to help on such a great day. Thanks for using our reels AND rods, they make for a great combo.
