Echo Shadow
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:37:20 AM »
It looks very likely that an Echo Shadow is in my future.  My question is 10ft or 10.5ft?   From what I have read, the 10ft seems like it is a little more versatile and able to cast dry flies a little better when necessary.  It also appears that the 10.5ft is the more popular choice but I know this is a comp forum.  I am nymphing 90% of the time, but I do like to throw dries at the end of the day.  I usually prefer versatile (I have budget/marriage limits) so I have been leaning towards the 10ft.  I just feel like the 10.5ft may be a little too much.  I am fishing WNC river mostly.

I'd suggest the 10.5. Especially if you nymph 90% of the time.

I've got a 10.5 and I like it a lot. No complaints.
