It just purchased a St Croix from the cabelas website for $89 including S&H and then a RockyMountain Large Arbor from the Orvis website for $49 plus about another $6 S&H. It listed as $79 on the website but when you click on it it comes up on sale for $49. Now I did spend another $39 for the line and they threw in backing for free (not like I don't have plenty at home). It at least saved me the time put the backing and line on myself. I got a 4 peice 9 ft 8 wt (but other choices where available including lighter rods and reels)because I have a meeting in Vancouver in May and wanted a travel rod to try some steelhead or salmon fishing for several days afterwards. If any one has suggestions for where to fish on the mainland of BC or Vancouver Island during late May I'd appreciate some advise. I'll fish anywhere the fish are running but prefer smaller less known rivers even if the fish are a bit smaller. I already found a few websites that list some runs that time of year but they just mention the bigger more famous places and say plenty of smaller rivers have runs as well.
