    Thank you for taking time to write your thoughts and experiences on this thread. I really appreciate the time you have taken. I like the feeling of fishing with fly line over the same experience with mono. I first tried mono on one of my spey setups. You can definitely shoot further with mono...

    Thank you for your insight. I am going to go with the Galvan 3.7 for the reel; it's a great feature that you can use the appropriate size Torque or Rush spools on the GEN reels. How do you like the Cortland line? I haven't used their fly lines much and wonder how they fish compared to the...

    T&T Contact rods

    Hello all, Does anyone have any fishing experience with T&T Contact II fly rods? I am interested in the 10'-9" 3wt and the 11'-2" 3wt. From what I have read the 10'-9" can fish dries when needed but the 11'-2" is limited to nymphing only. Any experienced feedback would be appreciated. Thanks...
