I take back my favorite rod, mentioned earlier; the 10ft 6in 3wt Cortland Nymph Series.
I had only used it a few times, for dry fly fishing with a 3wt line, in the past. I spent a whole day doing that, on the weekend, and wasn't enthralled about it. It isn't bad, but I think the action is too fast for me. Unfortunately, that is exactly what made it my favorite nymphing rod.
I have to go back to my old 10ft 3wt Echo Carbon XL, as my favorite rod. It's a bit sloppy, for nymphing. However, it is much better at fishing dries. I've concluded that it is a better all-rounder, for me. I actually own three of them; one for me, one for teaching friends and one for my wife.
