Hey Zach,
Thanks for the response to my post on Fly Fishing Today, (msentme), regarding equipment for my move from Florida to N. Georgia. I had a feeling that the guys in the shop were trying to put the wrong stick in my hand. I would like to give you a few more details about the kind of fishing that I plan to do. Any recommendations will be appreciated.
Most of the fishing that I do will be exclusively in the backcountry of north Georgia and southern N. Carolina. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2000 and wanted to fish the streams that I passed throughout my entire trip. I made notes on my topo maps every time that I spotted trout and am very much looking forward to revisiting some of these streams.
Like I said on the other board, my fly fishing experience has been limited to Pompano and Redfish 3 or 4 times a week here in Destin for the last 14 months. My only rod is a St. Croix 8wt with a G.Loomis reel.
I hope that you can help. Your site looks great!
Thanks for being,
John Orel
