{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Small Stream rod/reel recommendations

I have the 8' 2wt version of the rod, which I got for SNP and use locally for pan fish.  The full flex requires a slower cast, which may or may not be something you are looking for, but I'd definitely recommend casting it first to find out.  I managed to catch a couple of 12" cat fish on it this summer at roaches run, and was pleasantly surprised by the backbone it had with those fish.

TPFRs,

I am looking at adding another arrow to my quiver, as I want to try some of the fantastic small stream fishing (SNP) opportunities in our area.  I am leaning toward a 3wt 7'6 orvis finetouch, after doing a bit of online research. I already have two 5wts (8'6 and 9').

Thoughts, recommendations?

Much appreciated
