Hi all, just wondering what you'd buy with ?120 or so as a good wt4-5 rod in around the 8 foot range, as her indoors has decided to splash out for Xmas. Looking for a rod for small river work mostly dry flys. Thanks in advance.

Hi ross that link doesn't seem to work just brings me to a page for some ISP any chance you could repost. As for the Greys range had a look on another site and they seem very attractive for the price.

I have been informed that the stretch of water where it was caught is fished quite heavy with spinner & bait as its just below a dam.

I've just picked up a copy of the Magazine - "Today's Flyfisher", produced by David Hall. It's a nice mag and in the latest issue are some stunning shots of the Hebrides - my type of country - looks like the Eastern Cape near Barkley East (there I go again).

In the mag is the catalogue of Yorkshire Game Anging, based in Rotherham of course. There are some excellent ideas for Christmas presents in this catalogue. I like the look of their Nomad 81/2 foot 5 weight 5 section rod at ?149.99. I am looking for a nice river rod and this seems to be the right kind of tool.

have a look at www.yga.yorks.com
