253.0. "Advice on fly reel selection" by CACHE::KLAUZINSKI () Tue Jan 26 1993 13:52

    		Anyone out there a fly fisherman?
    
    	I plan to do a lot trout fishing this spring. I'll be fishing 
    	primarily in streams and occationally in the swift or deerfield
    	rivers. Anyhow, I'm just getting ready to purchase my first 
    	real (been using old junk in the past) fly rod and picked the
    	rod, but am stuck on one of two reels.  
    
    		Rod: Orvis Rockey Mountain version of their 7'-9" far &
    		     fine in a #5 weight.
    
    		Reel: This is were I'm stuck:
    
    		      Battenkill 5/6 spring and pawl model 
    		      or
    		      Battenkill 5/6 Disc
    
    	It's sort of an expensive package, so I'd like to get right the 
    	first time. Any advantages/disadvantages to having either of the
    	two reels mentioned above would be greatly appreciated.....
    
    	Thanks for your advice,
    	 -Rob
