fab fly rod
Took it out for small stream winter nymphing soon after it arrived. It behaves! Casts as advertised--very well indeed. Caught some! Will be my go-to small stream rod, and small streams is mostly what I do.

Excellent rod
Bought this rod to fish the rainbows in the South Platte in Colorado. It casts nicely and is very accurate. I like the feel of the rod while casting and it transmits even very light strikes to your hand making it easier to set the hook. This is definitely a pay for what you get and it is worth it.

Very versatile
Look at your target, cast, hit ! Sweet light touch with the dry fly. Able to cast small buggers with distance. I never thought that I would find another rod with as much “fish feel” or more than my superfine 3wt glass- wrong- H3 F 3wt 8’4” flat out the best ! Already caught nice bluegill just to get it out. Can’t wait for trout and crappie.

I bought this rod for UK rivers and chalk streams where I fish for trout, grayling and chub and am casting anything from a size 20 midge to a size 6 sedgehog.
To say it excels at the above is an understatement as this rod is far more capable than me. However, what makes it so magical is that fact that you can cast with a slow tempo and fish close-in or fire the line off the tip and send the fly up the river as if it were two different rods. And the accuracy thing isn't hype, no matter what angle you cast at.
Once you have a fish on you get a lovely progressive bend - typical of Orvis rods - yet there's plenty of power in the lower third to bully surprisingly large fish.
My dilemma now is whether I should sell my 2 and 4 weight 8ft Superfine Carbons as this rod has pretty much made them redundant.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!
I wrote a review last year when I purchased my 3F-5wt. Orvis lists it with all the other reviews- we all agreed its the best rod I’ve ever casted.
Well...take two. The same amazing abilities. False casts and concern about back casts are something of history now. Forget bout’em’!
Wanted the ideal small fly presentation rod.
This is it. Again, amazing, awesome, the best ever.
Details: Don’t need to re-write. Just read all the others and my previous reviews- about the 3F-5wt and you’ll be up to date with this rod.
Thank you Orvis.
