The celebration of the USA’s birthday kicks off true summer, so it seems like a good time to give away a made-in-the-USA Helios 2 fly rod for one lucky angler to use on vacation or during one of those long, sweet summer evenings on the water near home.
All you have to do to enter the contest is use the gray widget below (Do not post your answer the comments section!) to tell us which Helios 2 model you’d choose if you won. Do you want to chase native trout in the high country with an 8-foot, 4-inch 3-weight, ply the briny deep for stripers with a 9-foot 9-weight, or chuck big bass bugs with a 9-foot 7-weight?
You can double your chances of winning by subscribing to the Orvis Mailing list, too, using the same widget below. You can earn up to 10 more entries if you can get 10 friends to enter the contest through sharing, as well.
The contest runs through Wednesday, July 15th, and one winner will be chosen at random. The winner will be able to choose his or her favorite Helios 2 Freshwater or Saltwater model. (One-piece models are excluded).
Click here for the full contest rules. The sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the USA who are 18 or older. (We apologize to our readers in Canada and overseas; please trust us when we say that there are complex legal issues involved.)

Hmmmm, hooking up with brookies and bluegills on an 8 ft, 4 in., H2 3 weight. Sounds luscious!
I have dabbled with fly fishing a little but would love to win and learn more about the sport.
Now with half my rods being Orvis, I want to replace my old 9ft, 5wt with nothing but the best!
A little Steelhead action with the 7-wt please
3 wt. would be amazing for natives in the High Uintas
Hey guys, taking my daughter to the lower sac in no. Cal. Her first time fly fishing she needs a Orvis rod 9′ 5wt would be fine

NH & VT small streams crying out for the 3 weight!
The three weight would be just the rod for a lot of the California mtn streams, My old Far and Fine could use a restX!
I have a spot on the North Branch of the Au Sable River in Michigan. I would love to give the rods a try on.
8’4″ 3 weight would be great to chase native Pennsylvania brookies!
Would love to be fishing the jetties of Newburyport for stripers. Or the deep lates for salmon.
9′ 9wt for chasing steel in the winter
I have always fished small streams in the Sierra mountains. I would’ve to try fishing streamers for big Browns. I think the Helios 2 would make it perfect.

I’d really love an 8wt H2 to fish the San Diego Bay and local bass fisheries. Happy 4th to you, Orvis!

7wt. Would be PERFECT for PA Bass
I would choose the 8′ 4″ model. It would be perfect for North Carolina mountain trout ,where I’ve heard that we have some of the best fishing west of the Rockies but I know little about but would love to learn. It has always been on my list of things to do.
9 foot 9 wt. would be my choice…
My choice would be the 8’4″ 3# rod , I like smooth action of the light rod compared to others .

Thanks Orvis for the contest….I’ve been an Orvis patron now for over 25 years….thanks for my fly-fishing life experiences; especially now that I’m retired….alan.
A 9 foot 4 weight would become my best friend on some local trout streams in my area.
A 9 ft 5 weight would be perfect to handle the bigger trout on the Yakima river that have yet to meet my net.
