I can't see how one can fish with a three foot long fly rod? For a small
stream, seven feet is fine, six ok but any shorter would be less than
useless, unless you are fishing a stream that you can spit across!
My two cents worth!

I beg to differ.
I've got a nice little 4-ft. 10-inch J Kennedy Fisher 4 wt. that's
ideal for small streams.
And for larger streams. I used it on the Whitewater River, which is
about 50-75 feet across and it worked perfectly. I also used it on
the Little Blue River, which is about 15 feet across at the time
(we're in a severe drought). Again, it was ideal.
Mind you, a longer rod (9-10 feet) would also have worked well in
both instances. In fact, in the latter situation I could have used a
longer rod for dapping the fly quite effectively.
Gee. Unfortunately, with the severe drought that we've had this
Summer, that's my trip report for the entire summer. :-(
