A fly rod and reel combination (10) is disclosed which includes an elongated arcuate reel positioning member (16). Fly rod (11) is provided with a hollow butt end (13) and a hollow cylindrical extension (19) having a set of male threads (20) on its outside surface. Fly reel (28) is attached to a second end (25) of an elongated arcuate reel positioning member (16) which has a positioner extension member (18) attached to a second end. Positioner extension member (18) is sized and shaped to be frictionally received by cylindrical extension (19). A stop flange (22) is radially attached around the first rod attachment end (17) of the elongated arcuate reel positioning member (16) between it and positioner extension member (18). Flange (22) prevents the rod attachment end of the elongated arcuate reel positioning member (16) from entering into the hollow cylindrical extension (19) when positioner extension member (16) is engaged therein. A coupler nut having a set of female threads (24) is slidably and rotatably engaged on the main elongated portion of the reel positioning member (16) and is further configured to encompass stop flange (22) and engage male threads (20) on the outer surface of the cylindrical extension (19), thereby coupling the elongated arcuate reel positioning member (16) to the fly fishing rod (11).
