3 WT Bream

I took a solo trip Saturday afternoon and had quite a time. I was fishing along catching a few small ones here and there and stumbled upon a bed. A dozen or so hand sized bream jumped on the bea bea bug quickly. It sure is fun watching them crush it in clear water.

That's a nice mess of bream! Bet it was a blast on the 3 wt. How do you like the TFO?

Making my shoulder ache with envy. Just had shoulder surgery and it will be awhile before I can fly a bug. Always love getting into a mess of bream like that.

I love the BVK. It's one of the faster 3 wt rods I've fished. Most 3 wt rods are too slow for my preference. The only downside is they'll break. I've broken two but TFO will have them back within a week for $35.

I think a 3wt is about perfect for panfish. Allows the use of small poppers, provides good distance and still able to enjoy the fight.

I also have a 00, a 1 and a 2 in addition to my two 3s. All Sage. While I enjoy the really light rods, distance, wind and fly size can be a problem with UL rods. Anything over a 4 wt is overkill for bream in my opinion.
