Re: Favorite Streamer Rods?
Ard's reply reminds me of what my late nephew used to say about rifles.
'Tim, what's your favorite deer rifle?'
Reply: 'The one I happen to have in my hands.'
Can't get simpler than that.

Re: acceptable distance for 9' 5 wt.
The optimal casting distance for a 9' , 5wt is from you to the fish.
Seriously, you will find a way to do it every time.
Necessity is a muther than causes invention as needed.

Thomas and Thomas (No Sanctuary) NS5, 9ft 5wt
I might be interested in a sell or trade on my T and T 9', 5wt No Sanctuary fast action fly rod. If you like a fast action 5wt, this would be a hard rod to beat. I've never cast anything like it....

Re: I'm so tired of getting ripped off!
Politics and religion have destroyed more friendships than anything I know. I, for one, would rather not see it here.
UNLESS of course,,they open season on politicians..!

Re: Looking for Wilson Creek Report
Isn't Wilson Creek in Grayson County ? Have a buddy that lives near The Mouth of Wilson but I really do not know anything about the trout stream. Sound's interesting though !

best crappie fly ?
What are you guys catching crappie on when fly fishing ? Never targeted crappy that much with a fly rod and if you have fav flies or set up's I'd sure be interested in your methods.
Thanks

Re: lifetime warranty rods / outfits?
Just my point. You wouldn't drive your car without insurance and it's not free. If I paid 800 dollars for a rod,,or lest say 700 without a warranty,,,I'd insure it with my personal insurance agent...

Well Rip, I see your point. But with brittle graphite rods I don' think we'd see near as many happy fisherman around with broken tips being all but epidemic. It wasn't as big a risk with fiberglass...

I do not know if this warranty applies to the Streamline series but Orvis's other rods have a 25 year warranty.
