The recipe begins with innovative technology and the latest and greatest composites and components available. But the key ingredients to our success are people like you. By listening to anglers for whom fishing isn’t just a hobby, but a lifestyle, we design rods that capture the feeling of perfection. We create the rods that you simply will not want to fish without.
Like a lot of great companies, we’ve grown from humble beginnings. Founded over a decade ago, Fetha Styx began as a custom fishing rod manufacturer, but our reputation for building thoughtfully crafted, high-quality rods soon spread. As demand increased, we created several different series living under the motto “if it swims, we have a rod for it.”
Today our sights are set on the future. With our solid following and reputation in the Pacific Northwest and among fishing rod enthusiasts, we are now expanding our reach to a broader national and international audience. We’ve set up a system of design, manufacturing and distribution that allows us to act quickly to changes or trends within the industry’s global environment –from professional fishermen whose livelihoods depend on access to the highest-quality rods to the weekend angler who wants only the very best.

Happy Mothers Day
Perch fishing has been good in 28 to 40 feet from Lorain to Avon Point. Size is good with more than a few jumbos mixed in a 30 fish limit. Walleyes are also being caught by the perch fishermen. Dropping a jigging spoon down has been paying off. Walleye fishing has remained strong out West and is heating up in the Lorain /Vermilion area. Jigs, harnesses, and crank baits all taking fish. Night walleye has been good from Vermilion to Cleveland. Perfect 10s in emerald shiner has been hot. The Spring Derby is in full swing. The latest results are as follows.

Rivers are flowing high and muddy and with high winds finding clean water has been a challenge. Perch fishing has remained good to guys running North of muddy water in front of Lorain lighthouse. Walleye fishing during the day has been good between Vermilion and Catawba. Trolling Deep Cranks and pulling meat has both been good. A variety of colors have been working as conditions and water color changes by the hour. Look for fishing to heat up mid week as weather stabilizes.
