I couldn't wait two weeks until the Angling Show - and had a little extra, unexpected, cash burning a hole in my pocket - so I went with the Orvis superfine touch 3 wt 7'6.
I actually took it out yesterday on Beaver Creek - and wow, what a great fly rod. It took a few tries to get used to the full flex, but once I had it down it cast beautifully. I felt i had some precision in tight quarters and made high quality casts (not saying other similar models could not do the same) to weary trout without getting my fly stuck in a tree.
In all I got about two hours in before the weather suddenly shifted- clouds rolled in with the wind, temps dropped with a burst of flurries ( I don't remember that on the weather forecast). I managed 8 browns caught on a variety of dries, nymphs and a streamer.
Vic, I do plan on trying the Tenkara out at the show. I think this would be another fun and very useful rod when length on a small stream is needed.
Thanks again everyone
