Just for a different angle have you though of a bamboo rod for a 3wt? A friend of mine built a few cane rods and I ended up one of his "seconds" that is a 3wt. I can cast 30' easily and use it with dries or nymphs. I now have two others for river and creek fishing in 5-6wt. They are a bit different to cast, but it's not rocket science.

I'll go back to my corner now

I did just come across Dan Anderson (http://bamboorods.ca/). His work is beautiful but once again I can't afford. I am always watching for good deals on either fiberglass and bamboo rods. One of these types of rods will likely be my next purchase.
