3wt TFO on order.

Fly Fishing Forum Fly Fishing General Discussion

I have the 5wt TFO Profesional and I really like that
rod.
So, I went and ordered the 3wt TFO proffesional from
my local fly shop (Fishermans Spot). The owner Ken
told me that when it comes in I can try it casting outside, in front of the shop and see how I like it. If I like it then great. If not, no big deal.He will just put it up for sale.
It is the 7’6’’ long rod. I want it for creeks and smaller
green sunfish maybe bluegills in spring and summer.
He also got the WF 3 F selective trout II line on sale
for $30.00 that FG told me is a good line.
I cant wait to go try that rod.
Just sharing :slight_smile:

I second that.. post some pics when it comes in. Ive been looking into a small river/creek 3 weight rod for about a week now and would love to hear how you like the rod.

I have to say that the Professional was my choice with TFO. Actually I preferred it’s action over St. Croix and Sage. Well Sage was more the $600+ price tag, but I still like the Medium action of the Pro.
But there was also limited 10’ 5 weights at the time I bought it. I probably still would have bought the Pro.

I got out today on the Creek. Allot of over hanging trees so I prefer a 7’.
The 2 weight would have been fine for the fish size, but the rod is a 7’9" and that nine inches can get in the way. So, it was the good ol’ Trout Bum.

Tried out my Sharkskin Trout 4 weight…LOVE IT!

Peter,

That rod should be great for the tighter confines around here.

Since I already have a 6’-6" 2 wt I use for those waters, I’m eying a Grey’s Streamflex 10’ 3wt at the Fisherman’s Spot. I plan to use it for various nymphing applications in more open areas, including some of the Czech and French styles I want to learn next year. Might even work on my tube for those fiesty bluegills.

Weight Forward. An Mac I think you could!

That Grey’s should be a sweet rod. A little stiffer for those heavy Czech flies.

I cant wait myself.:slight_smile:
