Excellent! I just took out my newest rod on a small creek and had the most fun I have had fly fishing in a long time. Landed 3 Browns and a Rainbow, on this creek a 12 incher is considered a nice fish. 14-15 are about as big as they come. First brown pushed 11 inches and put a NICE bend in the rod. What I enjoyed most about it was this rods amazing ability to thread a short line through a hole in canopy of trees that completely envelops this stream. I previously fished a 8.5′ 5 weight graphite rod on this stream, a shorter rod makes all the difference in the world. I have read both arguments on rod length for small streams, I now know that a short rod makes casting 100% easier in this situation. Also this is my first experience with fiberglass and I cannot speak highly enough of this material and particularly this rod as I have no other experiences with fiberglass. The rod threw a large dry with a weighted dropper nymph with ease… I think I can honestly say this is the best rod I have ever owned and I have owned every brand you can imagine, over 30 rods in 10 years I have been fly fishing (buying and selling as I go). Just my opinion, get out and try this rod if you haven’t yet, on a small stream if you can… 😉
Spencer, its one of my favourites too! If David Anderson sees this thread, I’m sure he’ll share the passion too. 😉

Great rod!Yes sir,
It’s a gem !Glass is a great thing for a short rod, it’s sweet and very user friendly.
I have 4 of the Scott F’s and the 703 is my favorite, though I look forward to trying the new 4 on some Aussie bass when things fire up here for summer….www.dsaphoto.com
