Reply To: Fly Rods – Which Ones?

I too love the feel of bamboo. I have made /8 so far and my favorites are both Payne tapers, a 7’1″ 3wt and a 7’9″ 5wt. The 3wt is great for NC wild trout and the 5wt is great for Missouri streams. If I get on bigger water, then I get out the 8′ Ennes taper. It is a cannon and can handle heavier flies with ease. I still occasionally fish my Winston Boron BIIt 4wt. It is a sweet rod for dries. I also still fish the first rod I bought after Kenny’s class, my 9′ 5wt G. Loomis Xperience. Other than that, no favorites. :<)
