Proposition! Looking to Rent a Fly Rod
Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2014 8:23 am
Aloha fellow fly fishermen,
Heading to Nanaimo for a week July.22 on a Salmon trip. Being a fly-freak I thought I'd try my hand at coastal fly fishing low tides.
However, I could not justify buying a 8-10wt rod just for the trip, I do almost all my fly flinging with a 5wt.
Sure it would of made for a good excuse for a new toy, but after some pondering I thought I'd ask the fish-hawk fly community because I will not being dealing with an outfitter while there.
Before I tell you what I'm looking for keep in mind my 5wt, either an orvis access or T&T Helix will be used as collateral to avoid any trust issues, (Will still need one for trout) as I understand it can be difficult in this day and age, especially with our cherished fly rods, in addition to any conditions you may have(eg. price for rental)
Here's what I'm after: single handed/switch 8wt-10wt, 9ft-10ft rod with a fly line that can be chucked a mile. Shooting head/sink tip doesn't matter.
If interested contact me with what your willing to part with for a week with your price to rent.
Rod will be picked up July. 21 and promptly returned when I return July. 30. Or whatever is convenient for you. You have my word.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Tight fly lines
