I was vacationing with my family last week in North Conway, New Hampshire. I managed to sneak in some fishing. Luckily, the rain stopped, and it was sunny most of the week. The water came down to a fishable level, and the temperature was in the low sixties (more like late spring than August conditions).

The owner was a woman who was 90. She looked 70. This

I have never been a huge fan of Orvis rods. However, the new Helois is a joy forever. I recently fished an 9 foot, 8 weight. It was light as a feather, casts a mile and is so responsive. It is one of the BEST rods I have ever casted.
I appreciate good gear, but I am a little scrimy. I have never paid more than $500.00 for a graphite rod. Even at the mid $700.00 price range, this rod is
