Oh snap, I was hoping for a 6' 9 wt for dry flies with a nice "light" action. I am doing the rod you picked out when you were here, and the glass rod will be a classice H&I. My vote: 9 ft 7wt.

I just might have to fish this year just to have a chance at that one

6 Wt. I might even show up for a chance at that. Been thinking about getting one. I have 2 7's and a 7/8, gave an 8 away for the benefit last year. You get wet Sunday?  I did.

You realize that if you win this you'll have to scrape me off the floor. But since you called it. Good luck.

gentlemen,
Just a note to say that Skip built me a very nice 5 wt that has become my favorite mid wt. rod. I have a big rod for steel (fly fishin dave) and a small rod (2 wt) for brookies. But the 5 wt is my favorite for everything in between.
Skip do build very comfortable rods.

Actually, I think I'll be the one who needs scraped off the floor.

I vote 7wt. I already have a 9ft 6wt.
I don't give a crap if anybody listens to me or not.
