PS: regarding 7 foot 3 weight rods, go over to Sportsman's Warehouse and check out the St Croix Avid on the rack. If you don't buy it I may have to. Man that is one sweet little rod.
Yeah, LOL.... Sportsman knows me by name now. I've been trolling the fly rods pretty heavy!
I think I'm going to pull the plug on the TFO Professional.
7'6", 3wt, 4 pc and throw the little Okuma SVL reel with RIO Gold wff on it.
It'll see duty in my DB on the Rogue, mostly. I want to get back up to the upper river, above Prospect...etc, and upper Applegate as well. Too much river, not enough time.
I use my old Browning 7' 5wt on everything short of anchors, because I love the way it works. Really want to give a 3wt a whirl!
As a side note: I booked with Gary Lewis, on the Umpqua in July for his smallie trip. 3wt fly rods and ultra light spin outfits.
Hoping to learn a lot and go DIY from then on.
Good typin at cha!
