I thought that the rods were a bit on the long side considering the amount of trees/bushes around. Not surprised to see a few 'up-the -tree' casts. I would have fished my trusty old 7 footer.....................birdsnest

Very kind of you WCB - May be a month or two, I have a few customers in Devon - mostly in the textile trade. I'm always looking for an excuse to visit them but now more so since I took up fly fishing!
