Since returning the LL's three times, I have since switched to SIMS. Happy so far.

You have great taste!

Just a Trophy.

Good looking pattern, Pete!

True that.

I would choose the T&T as the best all around rod based on the rods you have listed there. In my opinion, no one makes a better rod than T&T. Of course, opinions vary.

I figured he was talking about the streamflex.

The 3 has a better action. It has no problem landing bigger fish.

That's something a lot of people don't mention when the talk about the Grey's. It is a great little dry fly rod. I don't fish wets much, but from the little I do know about them, I think I would prefer the 4wt Grey's over the 3wt. That's not to say it won't get the job done though!

They aren't worth it to me for $650. The Grey's 10' 3wt is near perfect for the euro nymphing applications, and it's only 300 bucks. If you are going to spend that kind of money, you might be better off getting the Thomas and Thomas 10' 4wt Helix. Or better yet, the 11' 3wt Loop, or 11' 5wt...

If it comes with a trophy, I'll be sure to buy it.

That is awesome. Where were you?

It's unfortunate that that stream doesn't get the protection that it deserves. It certainly holds some good size wild trout.

That place is great. Not too many stockies left in there though.

Exactly my point.
