Potter County, PA Posts: 144	So, when you believe you have everything you will ever need for flyfishing, what do you get for yourself? Custom made 9'3" slow action 2 weight? Another bamboo fly rod? Several high end fly boxes? A custom fiberglass rod? 1 man pontoon? Expensive fly reel (New Hardy Perfect maybe)? A bunch of technical clothing? Something else?
