Ok, first, I am not the greatest fly-fisher there is. In fact,
"Mediocre" just might be a compliment. But, if given enough room, I
can usually (sometimes) hold my own.
My problem - There are many small steams - some no more than 2-4 feet
wide - that I would like to "fly" on, but clearances are very tight -
even trying to walk through the woods with a 6-8 foot rod is nearly
impossible, never mind trying to cast once the water is reached.
Are there any SHORT fly rods made? Something in a 2 or 3-weight, in
the 2 to 4 foot range that would allow a person to work in close
quarters, casting maybe 10 or so feet or even allow a person to "flip"
or roll-cast a fly this distance?
Thanks ROFF

Never met a fisherman that couldn't lie his ass off with a straight
face
Bow-and-arrow cast.
Never heard of that one - Anywhere that I can find photos or a
tutorial?
