{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Small Stream rod/reel recommendations

You should check out the smaller tenkara (fixed line - no reel) rods.  So I don't end up posting a bias, just google 'tenkara' or 'seiryu' or 'keiryu'.  I've got a 6', 7', 9', 11'3" and a 13'-14'7" zoom from various brands.  For any fishing using line weights under 5, I just go to these rods.  For any of you looking for setups for your kids, my 7 year old daughter and 10 year old son are throwing tight loops with the 6' and 7' rods respectively - GREAT teaching tools that are intuitive, simple and effective.

TPFRs,

I am looking at adding another arrow to my quiver, as I want to try some of the fantastic small stream fishing (SNP) opportunities in our area.  I am leaning toward a 3wt 7'6 orvis finetouch, after doing a bit of online research. I already have two 5wts (8'6 and 9').

Thoughts, recommendations?

Much appreciated
