Thank you for the prompt reply John.
I have been fly fishing and tying for almost 65 years but am still waiting for a list of the things I can't do with a "pole" like a modern 11 foot Pflueger. I know the limitation of my regular flyrod will not allow me to hold all the line off the water on a 15 foot cast, but what else can't it do? Why wouldn't the Pflueger work at all?
