awesome pics john ! how do you get such great colors , do you use a diffuser ?
John you're obviously a great fisherman but your photography is the best on this site. Awesome. It inspires me to take a professional photographer along with me!
John,
My 3 wt. fly rod is a Cabela's (3 forks ?). It continues to do a great job for all kinds of fishing. I bought (2) reels for it. One I have sinking line, for drifting the shoreline of lake Erie and the other I have on Floating line for traditional fly fishing. (Panfish)
Depending on where I go, I just change reels and go. Pretty convenient. The fly rod...by far is more fun than any of my spin cast outfits...
Good luck on the water !

John,
We catch some pretty good size smallmouth bass out of lake Erie. We drift the shoreline with our fly rods using flys or tube jigs...
A lot of fun on a 3 wt. fly rod..
Don
