    I would suggest that you try casting them both at a fly shop and see which one "feels right" for you. Choosing the right rod is about matching your natural "casting tempo" to the corresponding rod flex. Some folks have a faster casting  pace and most often prefer "faster" rod actions. Others have a slower casting pace and prefer a full flex type rod. By casting rods with different flex, you will find the perfect match for you.

    ^^ Critical advice.

    That said, BIG fan of my Orvis Recon

    I was intrigued by Patagonia's boots, but $685!!!  Do not get me wrong---I want a pair.  It might be worth it if they are legitimately the last boots that I would need to buy.  Have you looked into what re-soling costs?

    ^ Hi scel.

    Ok those Patagonia Danners are new......crazy expensive and not what I've been wearing!

    Try patagonia.ca and then search ultralight boots. There will be felt and sticky versions at more humane pricing!

  3. I had Chotas (Felt) and got about 1.5 seasons out of them. Bought them from Springbrook (The TFO guys). Candidly fair for what I paid for them.

    I switched to Patagonia Foot Tractors (heavier boot but far better traction) and have been thrilled. Heading into my second season. Patagonia has lighter versions as well (think they are ultra lite). Both Patagonia and Orvis have fair satisfaction assurances on their gear.

  4. Bought a micro brand called Vedavoo. Handmade fly fishing slings in US

    Model I bought is called The Beast and find it fits the ideal balance between size and practicality for use and storage. Used it for past two seasons. Great net ring.

    KEY for me is the sling sits on my left shoulder, off my right handed casting arm eliminating fatigue. Nothing in front  when casting to tangle as well.

    Vedavoo offers left or right shoulder models. 

    Hope that assists.

     

  5. Ok so I can see it in its submerged state ........but its in an area only accessible by kayak or pontoon boat (as they would have to beach on some rocky outcrops and wade over to grab it). Please PM if anyone might be floating by the Cranston area in a kayak or pontoon and wouldn't mind taking shot at retrieval..... I would be grateful ( and would have a small gift :) ). 

  6. Took a spill tonight in Cranston and my Fathers Day gift fly box floated away and presume eventually sank. Should anyone come across please PM me for identification.

    Frustrating evening to say the least and piling on with vicious mosquitos....
