By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Hydros Reel: The iconic Hydros Reel by Orvis has been upgraded to provide an even better fishing experience. By eliminating unnecessary materials, the weight of the reel has been reduced while the narrow spool has been stiffened to minimize line stacking.
This reel is made from precision-machined, anodized 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. It offers maximum line pick-up, consistent drag performance, and the power to stop even the toughest fish.
The Hydros Reel is available in multiple sizes, allowing you to choose the right reel for your needs. Larger reels have a larger drag surface, providing more resistance to handle larger fish.
Equipped with stacked carbon washers and a positive click adjustment system, the Hydros Reel can be easily fine-tuned to handle various fish species. Its drag pressure is sustained and infinitely durable.
Key Features:
- Refined, lighter weight large arbor fly reel at a great value
- Aluminum construction balances strength and low weight
- Improved fully-sealed drag clutch bearing for long-lasting performance
- Upgraded easy-to-use drag knob for ergonomic comfort
- Large arbor design offers exceptional retrieval rates and minimizes line coiling
