I use a Hardy Cascapedia on my Orvis Flea which really workes great with a 4wt line on it. The Hardy Cascapedia reel will hold #2/3/4 line. Plus it has the
sweeping 'S' shaped handle and it really looks nice on the Orvis Flea.
I was just on the Yellow Breaches today fishing BWO with the Orvis Flea and using the Cascapedia and it doesn't get and better. |

If you can find one, a Hardy Baby Bougle would be sweet on the Flea. I would want to go as small and light as possible with such a small rod.

A 2 1/2" Brass Reel. Perfect size for eye appeal and balances well. I have no idea who built it other than it came from England via Canada.

Hardy and Orvis recommendations | #25 | ||

I would choose from the following: CFO II, I, or 123; Hardy Fly- or Featherweight; Hardy St. George Jr.; an early Marquis 2-3; or, the Hardy-made early
Battenkill. The others mentioned will work of course, but in terms of balance (weight and visual), I don't think you can go wrong with the above. Good
luck!
