MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
I'll be out and about in the White Mountains this weekend as well. Tested out a number of new spots last week on a scouting run, one turned out to be great, will be giving it a full day on saturday. Remote fish and hike here I come!

i don't know Dave, I have a 5'6" 3wt and a 10' 4wt Czech nymph rod that have never been used. At some point it just becomes hoarding.
Oh Oh I am closing in on a hoarder . 
My biggest frear is when I go to the wild Brookie stream in the sky my wife will sell my rods for I told her I paid for them . 
I'm taking mine with me!
Good idea Keith . Hope they can handle the trip.
HARDY BABY BOUGLE HERITAGE FLY REEL 1/2 WT My new reel for my new bamboo.
What are you going to line it with? The is not much of a selection in that wt range if you want to stay true to scale.
After fishing my Boo with Lee today I am really warming up to the silk line.
Silk is on all my boo reels. Much more expensive but casting silk on a boo brings it to a whole other level I am getting a Phoenix DT 3wt line for a good deal from Massimo . The one thing about silk is after day on the stream you must clean , dry and reapply mucilin . Not a problem once you get used to it . Silk also cuts the wind better because of the smaller diameter It gets better with time .The more you cast it the better it cast. . The one downside is you can't fish it in winter or early spring . It will crack the coating . How long have you had your silk ?
I have a Thebault 4wt DT and this is my first time fishing it. I love the lack of stretch when setting, it still has a few stiff spots but by the end of the day it was softening. I built a line drier and first thing I did when I got home was unspool the line, clean it, and let it dry. In the morning it gets a fresh coat of grease. All less than 5minutes work.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
