I am leaning towards another Orvis rig or a Moonshine brand in a 3WT. The reviews are all over the place.

The a search for best 3wt on the internet and see what pops up.
I like Orvis and have been pleased with a couple of Temple Forks that I have owned. There will always be some bad reviews, so I look at the percentages of good to bad.
I also look for consistent negative issues, like eyelets failing or broken tips.
Took out my nicest fly rod rig this weekend...Orvis Clearwater paired with a Battenkill Reel, Dang it can cast and shoot line...
A well made flyrod makes all the difference in the world. I'll never forget the first cast I made with one of the guide's rods on a Tarpon trip to Key West.
Try the gold one's for trout, I've tore them up when no other bait would work.
So today I was out during my "lunch hour" and tied on some funky stuff. I tried a White/spinner , Joe's Fly, Slammed a Bass, Also caught a nice size Rainbow Trout on it. I tried the Chartruese Pautzke Eggss and that was a dud. I also tied on a purple prince nymph for fun and the bluegill attacked the heck out of it.
Was fishing my 5Wt Orvis Clear Water, am finally in love with that rod. Just awesome.

Good luck!
