Thanks all! I'm closing in on a final decision.
I need to get this cash together, though, and that might take a week.
Thank you all for your incredible knowledge!
Marlin.
Harold, my goodness, it is no problem at all! I simply found it a tad humorous. My real name is one which is often mistaken as something else, and I'm used to being called by something other than...
Castwell, that's what I was thinking.
The TXL is a fast action rod compared to the Orvis and many other rods, I think, but it is still "moderate action".
I would think that the three weight...
nowind, please do! I'd love to know the results of that, and it might influence my current mental struggle over whether to actually get a 4wt, or a 3!
I might even end up going lighter because...
Depending on location(somewhat, but this is pretty consistently right) use a popping bug early and/or late, I mean no later in the morning than 9:15 or 9:30, and the action can be excellent.
After...
mudd, may I suggest(as I am a native Texan) that you check out Caddo Lake. Full of trees, and subsequently, crappie.
BIG crappie too.
Regarding overpopulation as was stated earlier, yes, this...
That is a beautifully fat little bluegill, in particular! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
RG/AR, I can't imagine that being the case unless the bass were not being fed properly.
It is a well known fact that starved bass will eat literally anything that moves, and I've seen cases before...
dry, thanks for the post, do you think that I might be able to use any 4wt that I'd purchase for the larger trout, really?
Perhaps even in small river fishing in, say, Alaska, on a trip or the...
Thank you Harold, you nailed it on the head.
I fish little creeks, runoff ditches, bayous, and other small waters(usually running water and ponds along running water, as this is what I prefer to...
Boy, you just don't get it, do you.
I am not only catch and release sometimes... I am catch and release all the time. I don't eat fish that I catch, they go back into the water.
In fact,...
YES, Tim, that's the essence! That's what it's all about, right!
Fighting them biggggg fish, that's what the game is about! Not about enjoying yourself at your favorite small hole with a rod...
Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions, although I'm not sure about the reel, I've got a few ideas outside of Orvis(though I've heard from you all good things about the Battenkill).
I do have...
Cliff, good to hear from you. Didn't know you were around here.
Didn't know about that VPS Light, I'll have to give it a look.
I'd heard good things about the Ross reel and if I didn't get the...
anglerdave, I have cast both of them and like both of the rods quite a bit, even though the actions are very different.
BigFlatBrook, although the winds can get strong even where I live, they are...
Thanks ohiotuber but I'll have to pass on that offer, I don't want to feel rushed to grab a deal on a rod I may not really want. I also haven't cast any of those rods.
Jed, thanks for the...
I haven't thought at all about Redington, perhaps I'll give them a look.
But between the two, the Superfine and the Sage, what do you think is the better rod?
I see the Sage being so expensive...
Alright, alright.
First off, I'm new here so let me give a brief background: I began fly-fishing in March, eventually bought a slightly nicer rod(a Bass Pro outfit, an 8wt.) and realized this...
