[Rocker Recliner Choices]

This zero Gravity chair helped bring some temporary relief for me......but pricey. I was lucky and found one pre-owned in Calgary.

Hi Rick - sent you a PM on the Oberto Beef and Pork Jerky

[Gear Hauling - Vest/backpack/chestpack/?]

Orvis a Safe Passage Sling here as well.......though I've bern tempted by the Wliiam Jospeh Exedous and the Fishpond Double Haul. Also wondering about the comfort of wearing those for a few hours, so still reading reviews and other's perspectives.

[Ms Fundraiser 2015]

I'll donate some Oberto Beef and Pork jerky and Golf Shirt. PM please and well arrange to meet up.

[Rod Advice Sought....]

Thankyou for the replies and advice so far......I had not considered a 4wt before. So if I was to go to 4 wt, do I go to 9' or drop to an even shorter length?

 

Still undecided on my end but have time to consider ( and cast ) all options at this point in the season.

 

Do most of you use a 6wt then as your Bow River all round rod?

 

As bcube noted, perhaps lugging two rods up and down the river banks might be a bit arduous.

[Rod Advice Sought....]

New here, so will start with seeking some experienced insight.

 

Relatively new to fly fishing, started back in the Fall 2014 after 20+ year absence (due to a Golf obsession).

 

I bought a 6wt 9' rod late in 2014 that I plan to use for streamers and nymph fishing.

 

My dilemma is on the 5wt........

 

If I'm going to use a 5wt for mostly dry fly and light nymph fishing, should I grab a 8.6' or 9' ? or is there so little difference it does not matter?

 

Useage: 99% of my fishing will be on the Bow from shore/wading.

 

Veteran advice appreciated.
