Well, finally got out to try the 3wt today. Met Flygoddess at Willow pond bout 10 or so. She came bearing gifts. Joni gave me a 3wt line and a 4wt line. Such a sweetheart.
I tied on a hares ear and gave it a few casts. It was a little windy, so I had to adjust my casting a bit. Couldn't get very far out for a while, then I finally figured it out. Started reaching the fish. Couple light hits on the hares ear was all. So I retied it using a double surgerons loop and that did thee trick. Managed 5 and boy what a hoot.
They weren't very big but they sure put a bend in that 3wt. If you never fished lighter tackle you should give it a try. Joni was doing well also. I will let her give the info if she so desires. The weather was great and the company even better. Thanks Joni. Yor are a true Gem[
