The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
I was wondering if any of the forum members own any of the Orvis Recon rods that were introduced a year or so ago to replace the Hydros series? I currently have a Helios 2 9' #4 tip flex and would like sell my Beulah 9' #5 and buy another Orvis rod. I'd like to get a Helios 2 but they are just too expensive. If anyone is interested in my Beulah PM me and I will give you the particulars and provide some pictures.
Just a heads up, the Hydros rods are still sold in many outlet stores. There is an Orvis outlet store close to you in Lancaster.

No, I was unaware of that. I want a 9' #5 4 piece that is faster than my Beulah Guide Model 9' #5 4 pc. It is a very nice rod that came with two tips and I only use it ten days a year when I go to Montana. It appears to have a nickel silver up lock reel seat (of maybe it is a plated steel reel seat) I'll likely post it up on Craigslist and PAFF.
I'll give the Lancaster store a call. Is it located out on Route 30 where all the outlets are?
Ask for Derek the Fishing Manager. He can give you a heads up as to what he has available. Good luck.
Not so good in close, and I'm not much of a roll caster
