I just got back from a T.U. banquet where I picked up the above mentioned rod in a bucket raffle. I had been following the thread on the Three Forks 7'6" 3wt for small stream brookies, now I'm obviously going to give the Cortland a try. I was wondering if anyone had used this rod and had any experience with it. I am probably going to be in fishing mostly streamers (#6-12) for native brookies in a coastal stream with alot of brush etc. I will be going to a good local flyshop to test drive some 3 an d 4 wt lines. I am thinking 4wt 444 peach DT might be best to load the rod in tight quarters, but I have a GRF 1000xp 9/10 that was definitely a 9 for me so I figured I'd ask.... I also won a Reddington Redstart fly reel 8/9/10 that I'm going to put on the old Cortland 9/10 for my son to use for stripers. I see the catalogs don't list it anymore, anyone know what they went for?
