Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.
This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.
What opinions are out there on this wt and rod length as far as manufactures looking --for a good used one-- anybody have one? Or where's a good site to shop / anybody have an opinion on the TFO SIGNATURE2
You can look on Craigslist to see if any are being sold. If you PM me I will give you the email address of another fly fishing web site that has a classified section.
I recently sold a custom 7 1/2' #3 three piece rod that I built with top of the line TiN snake guides and a Fuji SIC stripper guide and a Bellinger nickel silver reel seat and black ash burl woos spacer for $150.
You should be able to get a used factory rod for $75-$85.
