    For west coast fisheries my go to is a 9' 4wt.

    When I only had one setup it was a 8' 6wt. Pretty much great for all around.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    The CGR is a nice cheap option if you’re into glass rods.

    Question on flys-
    I am unable to tie my own flys because my hands are huge, clumsy & have 5 thumbs instead of fingers. Being old & wearing gasses doesn’t help either. Really don’t have the patience either. I’ve bought drys at Bass Pro before but 40 bucks for a dozen flys hurts my wallet. I need some wets & seems like Ebay has some decent looking ones. Too good to be true? Anyone have some links to some good deals? One example.....

    eBay flies are a gamble.

    Before I started tying, I went that route a few times. It’s hit or miss.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Do you have a local source? I have a few shops local that have them made. They are fair priced and the quality is bar none.

    mats, flaps, and stickers. Extang solid fold 2.0. Mobtown sliders and full skids. AVS vents
    $40 a dozen? That’s incredibly expensive. There are a few online stores that reasonable.

    Before I started tying, I’d wait until orvis sent out one of those $25 off $50 purchase coupons and stock up then.

    Madison River Fishing Company also has some closeout flies for around $1.25ish... Usually only several patterns/sizes/colors available, but may be worth checking into.

    They changed those coupons to no longer include “fishing” gear.
