Interest in a fly fishing forum section?

Thinking about getting into some bass fishing with a 5wt on some smaller creek

It’s a blast.

Probably pretty good considering that the outfitter/guide discount is about 50%.

Large online retailers will frequently offer coupon codes for 20% off.

The local fly shop might offer you 30% off a new line with purchase of a flagship model rod.

Online retailers doing so are either the manufacturers or are doing so at risk of their dealerships. Sage, Orvis, Loomis, Winston,Scott, and pretty much all the other well known rod brands have strict pricing and discount policies.
