I use my Cabela's CGR 5'9" 3wt glass rod at all times. Nothing better for small stream fishing. It was Kirk that uses the Prime rod.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-63685337028845525512016-02-21T18:57:05.402-05:002016-02-21T18:57:05.402-05:00A beautiful looking stream.

Are you still using your fiberglass fly rod every time you fish one of these streams? I am still thinking of the Prime from Cabela's ---was Mark using the Prime on this trip with you, is the Prime fly rod he uses a 6 ft? Thanks for sharing<br /><br />P.S. I picked up the 6 ft. Prime in Cabela's the other day and thought about you fishing that fly rod on some of those streams there----no pressure here to get you to buy another fly rodBill Trussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351692272817692157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-67939484281170878792016-02-20T04:57:15.259-05:002016-02-20T04:57:15.259-05:00Howard Levett

It'll be nice to get out and go for a walk around the neighborhood. Maybe even take a muddy jaunt through the woods. Really jealous of all of your outings!
