Some Walmarts might carry more, but the only Orvis products Walmart sells
here are Green Mountain fly lines and leaders. Bottom end lines from Orvis.
No other Orvis products. They sell mostly very low end Scientific Angler
gear. AKA: junk.

Oh, goody...a new face who fancies him(?)self a DYGS...and for Tim and
the guide - just sub "gear" for "beer"...bubba, you are in about as
wrong a place as you can get if you wanna set yourself up as a real
high-stepping gear connoisseur...and you are doing it with about as
wrong a person as you could pick, too...

There isn't a fly rod at any Walmart, anywhere, that a decent FFer
_couldn't_ use. If that FFer _wouldn't_ use it, that says more about
them than Walmart or the gear in question. Heck, in the hands of many,
even a broken rod in the returned items bin could produce results. And
if a FFer's budget made Walmart (or other purveyors of what you call
"junk") the supplier of choice, there's no shame in that.

You're not by any chance from Ketchum, Jr. or the proud owner of, IIRC,
"at least one of every rod Orvis ever made," are you?

All this time to rehearse and STILL nothing to say.

What a half-wit.

on the other hand, he gives google some much needed exercise and he IS
amusing when he's serious.
