This is the 1st year that I haven't gone flyfishing in a while. The summer here was hot and windy and with the price of gas being what it was, I was less inclined to drive 2-3 hours to hit my usual spots. Typically I use a 4DT with a 5 or 6x tippet on a Sage 7 1/2ft 4wt rod. One of my winter chores this year will be cleaning, rearranging, etc my gear. Its a wonderful way to fish and particulary with dry flies.
