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

Tom, I'll second that. I was a devout czech nympher for a long time. I was the guy baking neon yellow mono in his oven to get a good coil. Since switching to tenakara, I have hardly touched my 10'6" Echo 3wt because the presentation doesn't even compare and if I find a reason to start tossing dries or emergers, I'm covered.

I like a 7 foot 3 or 4 weight and using dry flies in SNP about 99.9% of the time. The 4 is a little more versatile and better in places like PA where the bookies are typically a little larger, handles nymphing slightly better too if you are into that for brook trout. Paul Kearney spoke at the TU meeting last year and says he uses a 9 footer in SNP. Better for reach and longer drifts but I have enough trouble bush whacking with a shorter rod so that's the compromise I guess. A tenkara rod would probably be awesome, I need to try that.
