My buddy Shawn, a Chronicles Pro-Staffer, and I trekked out to North Central Massachusetts this past weekend, with high hopes in landing a few fat rainbows, browns and native brook trout on the Swift and Millers River. The night temperature was very chilly and the morning projections looked to be a misty and cold nymph kind of day. I was using my Temple Fork Outfitters rod and Shawn pulled out his new Cabelas Stowaway 6. It was a fun day and Shawn wanted to share his thoughts and opinion on this new rod. Read his personal review below:
“Over the years there has been many claims as to what the perfect dry fly rod is………………
I live in New England and have recently purchased the Cabela’s Stowaway 6 rod 3WT – 8’, 6’’ with a combination of the Cabela’s Prestige Premier reel. A classy mix between stiffness, control, durability and aesthetics, not to mention it comes in a compact 6 pieces for easy transportation.
When looking to make a purchase I wanted something I could use locally on New England’s smaller streams and rivers with the capability of being used for the annual Montana fishing trip on the Little Big Horn River that I make every year. With a steady Dun and Trico hatch, the indigenous Rainbow’s and Brown didn’t stand a chance! The longer length than traditional lighter rods allows for cuts against the wind that usually a 4WT is needed for. Which is exactly what I needed since I prefer the fight (and the rush) lighter rods tend to provide during a hook.
I couldn’t be happier with this purchase, and definitely would recommend this rod to other anglers interested in having a quality tool without the price tag of Sage, Orvis, or Winston rods. If you have any questions about these Cabelas products, please email us at greenlakechronicles@gmail.com.”
