Well - I'm really only about one baby-step ahead of you. I have several fly rods but the two I use most are Cabela's Three Forks - a #3 and a #6. I gave $20 for the 6 and a bit more for the 3 on sale. These ride in a double case behind the seat of the truck as long as there is open water. It's a fun game. I need to go through my fly box. I noticed when I swapped flies the other day - most of what I'm using look like they've been through a blender.
