A few months back, I posted a thread on here asking about rod options in the $800 range so that I could spoil myself with something nice come tax season. The discussion was lengthy and lively, and I got a myriad of opinions on the issue. In the end, I came up with a hybrid answer to the question assembled from the opinions posted combined with a casting session at a mom-and-pop shop called "Fisherman's Spot" in Van Nuys, Claifornia (incredible service there, by the way, if you ever need to order out of state from an authorized Winston dealer).
Well, tax time is here, my return is filed, and my rod was ordered about a month back. I got the call from the fly shop yesterday, informing me that Winston WT, 3-piece, 4-wt. fly rod is complete and en route to my front door. I had to have it special ordered and built since, at the time, these were no longer actually in stock at Winston. This will be my first dry fly-specialized rod and the only rod I own in this price point. I'll post pics when it gets in.
The mountain streams out here can't thaw soon enough! Did I mention that I hate waiting?
