new fly rod setup

[Kype]

used a small part of my christmas bonus to spend at a local small buisness. i drove to shannons fly shop couple weeks ago to buy a new set up for 2020. i already have the same set up in a 9' 5 weight except with a readington rise reel. this time around i bought the same rod but in a 7 foot 3 weight and bought a galvan torque reel. like always the guys at shannons throws in free backing and fly line with a purchase of a rod and reel combo, and half dozen flies. i cant wait to make some casts on trout and this 3 weight will be a blast for summer smallies.

That is nice. I haven't fly fished in about 15 years now and I miss it a lot. Used to fish the Gorge a lot and some streams in PA and some salt water also. Have a great year.

Nice set up. Good luck with it. I gotta get my fly arm working again.  Since I’ve taken over the race track, I work like 14 hrs on Saturdays and after getting home 3-4am, I sleep half of my Sunday’s away. Somethings gotta give at some point...

Very cool.  I will warn you, it is an addiction like hunting.  Wait till you start tying flies.

Nice great purchase nothing like fly fishing. I can’t wait until the spring hits and bugs start coming off the water and the trout are sipping.

i do tie flies. have been for 12 years. been fly fishing for about the same time. both came hand in hand for me. i currently have a renzetti traveler vise and a dedicated section of the basement for tying. 

funny thing is i started trapping for fly tying lol. muskrat fur, fox tails, coon tails ect....and every buck i have ever shot has caught at least a dozen smallies from making clouser minnows

Nice! I love Shannon’s. Bought a St Croix fly rod and Readington reel there last Spring.  Threw in line and gave me a free lesson.  Enjoy your set up..

looks like a perfect set up for wild trout streams.
