Got one last spring. https://www.pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/9-5wt-orvis-clearwater.1165/
I think it's a great lake rod and the few times I've used it in the river it fished well. I would say it's on the faster side, yes. I would buy again.

Thanks Tom. I recently broke the rod I use on lakes with a full sinking line, this might be the one.
I have used it with the clearwater floater, and the intermediate (both a 1/2 wt heavy) and a 16' s3 sink tip and it handled all those well. I will get a type 6 for it. It casts well from a float tube or shore.
I fished mine today on the river. Having fished my glass steffen for a few days, I really noticed how fast it is. Not my fav for multi-fly rigs, but for a hopper on a long leader, or fishing a muddler alone it was super. I like this rod best on the lakes.
That's not bad! Honestly though, I've always felt that the Clearwater is such an easy casting rod that performs far above it's price point.
