Charliep - nice to hear they are after the top water stuff - sure sign the bass flyfishing season is near.
Fished a small brook this w/e - too overgrwon to flyfish, but tied a bubble to 4lb test on a 5 1/2 ft spinng rod and a phesant tail nymph off the bubble and caught maybe 6 smallish browns and brookies - great fun though on the light tackle.

Peabody!! I was so excited to find out about the store last night. Picked up my first fly combo this week. I am glowing!! I've been wanting to learn for over a decade! When I was up in Kittery Maine (not even an hour away) I noticed an Orvis outlet as well. Then there's Kittery Trading Post. They seem to have everything you could ever need.
Did you get the Clearwater combo on the 20% discount? or did you step up to the Access? They are both awesome rods. What weight did you go with?
I have an Orvis store across the highway from me in Dedham. I've taken the free fly tying course, did the Casting 101 clinic last weekend, doing the Casting 102 clinic on June 2. So glad I have this store so close and there is always someone there to talk fly fishing with. They turned me on to poly leaders last week and they are super.

I had an Orvis Clearwater 5 weight for several years. One day I noticed that the lamination was starting to crack at the base. I sent it back to Orvis and received a brand new TLS Power Matrix about a week later. No cost to me. The rods have a lifetime guarantee, no matter how it gets broken. I understand that now they will charge you postage for the new rod they send you should yours be damaged. Still, a good deal.
