Went with the Cortland 444 Classic Clear Creek. Thing I gotta get used to is the dark green color - hard to see but then I kind of got this for picky eaters so the color shouldn't spook 'em as much. I gotta say....I never threw a dry fly with a rod this light and I'm amazed at how gently a dry lands on the water with it. Amazing. I really did have to slow things down alot though with my cast to get the timing right. Very relaxing way to fish!!!!!

glad you like your new rod. it is nice and relaxing casting a softer rod, especially dries.
i'm still debating over a LLBean 3wt., a wright & mcgill 6'6" 3wt. or spending the money for a diamondfly 3wt.
decisions, decisions!

Doubletaper,
I have a TFO Professional in 2 and 3 weight. Both are really nice rods and quite inexpensive. Plus they have lifetime warrantly. Just a thought!?!
