Andy..... Been looking for one. The importers are out stock till 2014, where did you get yours.

Used my mates 6/7 version the other week and had 9lb sea trout and a Salmon 13lb on the River wear.

Just bid on one 11' 8#..... do you need special lines for a switch?

I was fishing the free stretch just south of Durham City and the fish running hard, later on we went to watch the fish going through the fish pass and over the weir, there were more leaping the weir than going up the pass.

I use mainly 40+ lines on mine and find them fine(my river isnt very wide) i cast mainly overhead unless bankside vegitation gets in the way! for mainly spey casting maybe you could go up a line size? hope this helps.
