Thanks Jubal. I thought it was going to be easy, but I was wrong.
Walt, yep that is the HC on sale at bps. Seems fine to me, but I dont know enough about this to compare it to any other's
Congrats on your first catch with the long rod-I'm sure it was fun. I've catch a few cats on flies before and am surprised everytime-one time I even got a saltwater cat!
