I don't deserve the whole stream and I never expect it but why would you want to follow another angler when the other option is to hit the other section and have that to yourself?

I went to the Crow on March 12 and since it was a Friday I thought it might be busy but not crazy. Well I got to the Burmis parking area and I was the only one there As I was about to hit the trail a couple pulls up and starts gearing up and the guy asks me "what way are you going?" I told him I was heading upstream then he said "Great so are we maybe we will bump into you later" If it was the other way around and I was there second and was told that they were going upstream I would have went down stream.

What are you looking to catch? Trout only or Pike, Walleye or all?

How long will it take? We will return your fly rod to you, as good as new, usually in three to six weeks The Orvis Fly Rod 25-Year Guarantee Purchase an Orvis Helios, Zero Gravity, T3, TLS, Superfine (since 01/01/88), Clearwater, Clearwater II, or Custom fly rod and we will repair or replace it no matter what the reason, for a quarter of a century. Step on it, close the door on it, run over it with the car-it doesn't matter, we'll fix it. If we can't repair it, we'll choose a current fly rod of at least equal value to replace it. Your investment is assured for a nominal shipping and handling charge. http://www.orvis.com/intro.aspx?subject=446

And tonight I'm forced to cheer for them :$*%&:

A few years back I bought a nice 3wt rod and the shop only had one 3wt reel and it was a nice reel but I never tested the whole set up I just bought it. Lesson learned as the reel was way to heavy and after letting this sweet little rod just sit without use for years I finally bought a much lighter reel and now it's my go to set up. Just that simple and no deep science for me. It was just all about how the set up felt for me and nothing else. http://www.flyfishohio.com/a_question_of_b...%20Part%202.htm

"If you’re looking for the perfect trout reel than you just found it. The 3 Plus is capable of running 3 through 5 weight lines with ample backing capacity for the occasional whopper that might come along. At first glance you’ll notice this aint no dainty trout reel. This little wonder means business." http://www.hatchoutdoors.com/reels1/3-plus
