Due to the condition and season (springer season,,, meaning bubba is out in force) I haven't been out in a while. So I am out of practice. And being a lefty, was at a disadvantage at the Sandy. I just didn't feel I was able to get the most out of any of the long belly set ups. Never the less,that Meiser Highlander 15' 7/8 is a real winner. It felt good with either the 7/8 or the 6/7 XLT line on it. Meise, just call it a 7 wt and let it go at that. :hihi: Would have been nice to have tried some of the new, lighter Grand Speys on it as well. I just wish I could have cast it on a river right situation.
