I posted here three weeks ago for advice on the subject of my old Fenwick #7
rod and taking up fly fishing. I have been doing some reading to get up to speed in the interim. Now I want to elicit opinions on a reel comparison and I figured this would be the place to ask :-) Which reel would you recommend (for trout) out of these two, an Orvis Clearwater and an Orvis Rocky Mountain? Also, I'd like to thank all who posted responses to my original thread. One guy suggested I find a fly shop with "a couple of scruffy characters drinking coffee" and have them sell me some line and flies and install the line for me. Well I went, but I won't be going back. I took my 30-year old rod and walked into a place in Los Angeles that specialises in fly fishing and the the experience made we wonder whether I really wanted to take up fly fishing at all. Now I don't know whether it was because I wasn't actually waving a credit card at him or because it was nearly closing time, but the guy looked at me like I was something on the underneath of his shoe. I will not go back there if I have to drive an extra hundred miles to buy flies and a reel. Thanks for letting me vent, and for any opinions on my reel choices, Dan Hugh-Jones |
