FG....you bring up a point that I think can be an issue......so frequently.. we talk to each other but we may be talking different fisheries....so what we say as dogma..doesn't even apply....

"A fish is a fish"...no... there are many different fishes,characteristics, qualities....and many different ways to fish for them....[/quote]
Like my karma ran over your dogma?
The question posted to JC was- why not use your Hardy glass where you fish?
I see JC lives in Washington- and I'm assuming it's the state not the U.S.capitol. Is there not small to medium waters there also.
I think a fish is a fish. We use fly rods to catch them, bamboo, fiberglass and graphite. The may be caught on a 000w rod or a 14w. Dry fly to nymphing to wet flies, streamers, poppers, etc. Bluegill to marlin.
I see no issue here.
If I had a Perfection, I'd find a place to fish it. But I imagine he has quite a large quiver of rods to choose from and it could be in the back of the bunch.
