Since I'm still living in the 18th century (I don't have a digital camera), I'm just gonna have to tell:

Winston BIIx 9' 5wt (my sweetest rod, without a doubt)
Orvis Western 8' 4wt
Orvis Far and Fine 7'9" 5wt
TFO Professional 9' 7wt
TFO Professional 9' 9wt
Bass Pro Hobbs Creek 8'6" 5wt

Plus, I have several vintage Shakespeare Wonderods and a few home-made rods.

Since I got the Winston, I don't use the Hobbs Creek much any more, but I never had any problems with it.

I've heard those GL3's are nice. (Shoot, anything with "Loomis" on it is nice.)

You showed me yours, now I'll show you mine.
This was 2 weeks ago.
From the top. My hand. Homemade fly. Crappie. Browning 8' rod my brother bought for me 15+ years ago. Cheap Martin reel. Cortland#6 double taper. More stuff that I won't bother to list.
Just picked up the flyrod after years of neglect. It was a lot of fun.

Wow I think you have just about everything covered. One question why not a 5wt? I always thought that it was the all around wt. Just wondering
