Comments Just acquired an 8'0" 2/2 Orvis Nymph 3 3/4 oz. stated for an HFG (WF4) line. Tried a Wulff TT 4/5 on it and it is really sweet/slow/delicate. Here's the taper measured over impregnated cane so I didn't subtract anything. I averaged the three flats but there was very little flat-to-flat variation:
