Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on June 28, 2012 at 8:26pm: Hey Dick, remember what I told you at the beginning of your adventure of fly roddin? There are no experts , just some folks who know more than we do! Everyone gets wind knots, and catches an ear or neck once in a while.
Glad you are happy enough with your progress with the long rod enough to venture into the spending of hard earned cash!

I just posted a pic of an old fenwick fly rod, GUESS WHAT? IT'S A 6 WEIGHT!!!!!!
ASK all the questions you want old buddy and don't be afraid to ask either, we're all just learners here.

Comment by dick tabbert on June 28, 2012 at 8:00pm: Don't forget about the pro bee here who knows very little but maybe it's not a good thing with all my questions I'll be cutting into valuable fishing time. David I ordered a 2WT fly rod suppose to be here the 3rd. Here I am don't know squat and bought a new rod. Next I want a 6WT for some river fishing.
