Thread: Show and Tell

Heres mine

Starting form the Top:
Orvis Boron graphite 8wt 8.5' w/ Orvis Battenkill reel- just put on a new SA green 8WF line.

Orvis Silver label 6wt 8.5' w/ Orvis Rocky Mt reel- all original, Orvis 6WF green.

Loomis GL3 3wt 6.5' w/ Orvis Rocky Mt reel, custom made by me for "mountain troutn' ". Orvis 3WF green line.

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.

Bass Pro Hobbs Creek 8'6" 5wt

eesh! I had one of those damn things, it broke on a forward cast.

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.

Those are some nice rigs, I have

2 dogwood canyon(basspro) 8' 5wt cheap but I like it
one has the reel that came with it and the other has a orvis large arbor( I know, I know like wearing brown shoes with a tux)

I also have a 7' 3wt orvis with a orvis large arbor this is a panfish dream

Hobbs Creek must of been on sales that week.. Mines an 8wt and wish I would of purchased a 5wt.. I'm sure I would use it more..

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

How about a pic of that "homemade fly" you caught that crappie on?
