Re: Your best stick?
Hi everyone new to this site. I've been fishing for many years right now my favorite dry fly rod is my 8' 4wt. TMF Winston and the next would be 8'5 5wt. LL Sage. I'm starting to get interested in bamboo. I'm looking at some Garrison tapers. I'm going to build an 8' 5wt. and then a 7' 4wt. can't wait to get started. :D

Re: Your best stick?
There are some really nice "favorites" here. I have several small stream rods including some one piece short cane rods, but the one that always seems to make it into my hand is a POS cabelas three forks 7'6" 3 wt :oops: no joke. Over lined it makes accurate short cast and still has enough backbone to throw 40 + ft. which frequently happens when the trout are spooky. And If you snap it while rock hopping you can get a new one for under $50 bucks.

I can recommend the Garrison 202E – lovely dry fly and nymphing 7ft, 4wt stick. :bigthumb:

Re: Your best stick?
I decided to go with the 8' 5 wt. first for a little bigger water and the wind. After I build that one I am going to do the 7' 4wt. Both of them are the garrison tapers

Re: Your best stick?
glad to see you here, brian.
I believe I tossed a few w/ that rod? my memory is foggy at best.
I think we can agree that thomas tapers are magical.
I've a 6'8" 3wt and 9' 7wt thomas tapers in the works.
