Good luck with getting what you'd like Randy!
Woz, thanks for the info. I called but the lady at the store doesn't know so I'll call the main Orvis store shortly.
They do have 10' models in the Clearwater line-up. I'm just trying to find out if they added a 6wt. to that line-up as they added a 10' 7wt as a late release to the line-up.
Randy
Well they don't have the 10' 6wt. The fellow told me they added the 10' 7wt to the line-up after the original release because of so many request from the steelhead guys around the Great lakes area. He said he was adding my request for a 10' 6wt to a list of others and if they see enough interest that model could happen in the future.

Knees..., why I will likely never fish streams again.
Glad ya like the new rod. Sure, they are made over seas but damn little isn't these days.

Did get OFF to McIver this morning and fished from below the hatchery and upstream.
More hiking than I've done in a while and my knees sure let me know - lots of manuvering over rocks.
Had a small trout on to my legs and it spit the hook and several hits all on a EH Caddis. Only one bush caught for the entire 4 1/2 hours. Left when the rafters started coming though they were all very respectful.
Several bankers out seeing nothing caught by them while I was there.
OFFsprey picked a 12-14 incher up about 20 feet in front of me. Deer nibbling foliage right across from me for at least an hour. Very relaxing time!
Lots of trout in the water hitting the top, just finicky. Saw a few big splashes so I'm thinking steelies hitting a bug on the water.
The rod is excellent! No line snapping at all - got the timing right; very easy to load and shoot line.
May be an evil (to some) Orvis brand but I'm highly satisfied...
Woz, I ended up getting the same set up you got at around the same time. Mine was from the Bend store. I am very pleased with it, only had it out twice ( due mostly to being busy with saltwater action off shore). My next goal is to become a mediocre fly fisherman. At the rate I'm going it will likely take a year or two. Congrats on a sweet set up!!
Glad you liked it Randy! It's my first Orvis and had no idea but very pleased with it.Woz, I cast your new rod out in the paarking lot at the Orvis store this morning. What a sweet casting rod she is! Gotta be one of the best rods I have ever cast in that price range for sure..., maybe thee very best???If they would have had a 10' for a 6wt. I might have come home with it!
