Believe this is my first post. My first rod(decent rod) was a 7'9" 5 weight, I believe it was called a Orvis clearwater. This was probably 10 or 15 years ago. Came as an outfit and was around $130. Someone suggested that I use a DT 4 floating line on it-it fished like a dream. Wonderful small stream rod. I gave it to a friend; lesson-never give a rod to someone who you hope will take up fly fishing. The rods been sitting in his office for a couple of years.
