What do you think about Cabelas three fork 7.16 ft #3, iit worth? someone sells one like this in Romania, and I am considering buying it. Is it suited for nymphing?
Anyone uses it?
Thanks
I don’t know if I will reach heaven, but if so, please God, let my heaven be a trout-filled stream…
Muscarul,
I use a three forks 3 wt 7’6" 3piece rod for just about everything and love it. Please understand I consider myself a novice when compared to most of the people at this sight. I do like the rod very much though.
It works for all my fishing here in Wyoming.

Been using a three forks 7 1/2’ 3wt.
for a wil now , I fish small streams with
it LOVE IT.

I’ve had one for 3 yrs now. Nice rod for the money. I built a little faster 8’ 4wt and use that now. My nephew thinks it’s great because he gets to use the 3wt now. 
The Cabelas 7’6" 3 wt was my first light line fly rod ~~ and I loved it. I have passed it on to my son and he now uses it. It’s a great casting rod for the money.
I’ve had mine for about 5 years. I love it. I fished small streams in Kentucky before moving to Alaska. But it has proven to be an excellent grayling rod up here. I did, however, build a 9’ 4wt over the winter to replace the 7’6" 3wt. I needed a little more length for the waters I fish now.
Had mine for a couple of years now. Have had guys “try” it to compare to much more expensive rods and nearly cry after using it. Couldn’t believe it was $39.
It’s a great small stream rod.
I’ve even thrown small poppers w/ it for LM bass and had a ball catching em.
It was my main rod until I busted the tip. I use a Temple FOrks three weight now. BUt, I will get that tip replaced and it will be my main rod again. Buy it. I have caught more fish with the Three Forks than all of my other rods combined. Love it.
I have one and it’s the best, cheapest (in terms of cost) one that I own. I fish small streams and brooks with it and 90% of my fishing is done with nymphs.
Muscarul,
I met a new friend on the river several years using a Three Forks 3 weight, and after trying it, couldn’t believe they could sell a rod that cheaply that cast so well. I bought one a few days later and have caught many blue gills, smallmouth bass, and trout with it. I have cast everything from nymphs and small dries up to medium size Wolly Buggers without a problem. While a friend and I were teaching a Boy Scout merit badge class on flyfishing, I was letting the boys practice casting with my Three Forks while my friend was using one of his much more expensive Orvis rods. After he tried the Three Forks, he immediately ordered one for himself. This will be hard to believe, but he recently purchased two Winston WT’s, one of them in 3 weight. He took the Winston back and got a refund, because he said the Three Forks cast about as well as the Winston, and he just couldn’t justify the price difference.

Larry, thanks for your tip, also thanks to all who answered me.
now… between Cabelas three fork 7’6" #3, and stowaway 8’6" #3 what you would choose, mainly for nymphing, but also dries? I fish a lot in the czech style, and I would incline to buy the stowaway, wich is longer. But I am clueless when it comes to rod action and stuff. Please, enlight me

The only rod I own is a Three Forks 8ft 5wt , not the size you asked about but for overall quality, I’ve fished it all of last year for everthing from perch, smallmouth and larger trout on the Little Red and bass. But like others have said too, I’ve had more experienced fly casters try mine and they were very impressed with the quality and casting of it, and I only paid $29 for it when it was on sale last Christmas!
