Re: Thanks Catty....
Regarding these fly fishing posts, for the guys looking for advice on gear, I suspect you'll be better served posting on paflyfish or in the case of Grant Green posing on the Washington Flyfishing or ifish forums. You may be lucky to get hooked up with a local guy willing to offer better quality gear and perhaps even an offer to test cast it. Nothing against Cabela's, but I still have the first fly rod and reel I purchased and consider the pair an heirloom, in part because they were hand made in the USA. For those of us passionate about fly fishing, it's something to consider.
