The longer length can be handy for line mending; particularly on bigger water. But, were that a really significant advantage, the vast majority of rods wouldn't be 9 ft... just saying.Thanks I was just wondering if the 10 footer makes a huge difference over a 9 footer when nymphing. I am looking at the sage esn or the new orvis 10 foot 3 weight recon.
I get the feeling he wants to do Czech etc nymphing, not so mendy but you hold all your line off the water.The longer length can be handy for line mending; particularly on bigger water. But, were that a really significant advantage, the vast majority of rods wouldn't be 9 ft... just saying.
Those silly Czech's... I just find a really large rock, and preferably one mid-channel. That way I can use my 9 foot rod and cover bank to bank whilst keeping the line off the waterI get the feeling he wants to do Czech etc nymphing, not so mendy but you hold all your line off the water.
Try both. I suspect both would work just fine... with or w/o a bobber.I have a 9 foot Hardy Zenith. Its seems to be a fast rod. I also have a G Loomis NRX Light Presentation. It is more like a mediun action. Which one would you use to nymph with or without an indicator?
Ha... I see you have reading too many Ira postsNO NO its not a bobber when your fly fishing . That's for worm fisherman. In fly fishing its called and indicator. LOL
I have both, both will work. In my opinion, the Hardy is a better Nymph and Streamer Rod, and the NRX LP is a better Dry rod.I have a 9 foot Hardy Zenith. Its seems to be a fast rod.

There is also a Sage Pulse 10' 3wt nobody talks about. It's a really good rod series, I have a 697, it's the best.Thanks I was just wondering if the 10 footer makes a huge difference over a 9 footer when nymphing. I am looking at the sage esn or the new orvis 10 foot 3 weight recon.
You know, that's interesting. I've been curious about getting a euro nymph rod since I fished with an OR buddy who slayed with his. I've got a super light ARE "spey" built off of one of those blanks and was thinking of trying it for nymphing.It's super low-brow and perhaps even borderline ghetto, but I actually really like my Anglers Roost 10' 4wt for both tight-line (or whatever you want to call it) and bobber (or whatever you want to call it) for trout.
