I am against it, and although im not out as often in the fall , I live a few blocks off the river in fish creek and it would suck not to be able to fish it
The warranty for tfo is really good..lifetime, and because there is an"outpost" in Calgary, you can expect a rod within a week, usually a 30 dollar fee if you break it though.
I was told to point the rod tip at the fish, so that when the fish hits the water, He/she doesn't break your tippet or yank the fly out. I only find this necessary on small flys and tippets.
