This year I will have several opportunities to fish smaller streams where the fish are on average 12 inches.
When I first started fly-fishing I was told to buy a 6w, so I did. Over the years I moved to a 5W for my regular UT Weber/Provo rod.
I have no idea weather to select a 3w or a 4w for my new rod to fish the smaller streams (headed to Bend, OR in a few weeks fishing small streams).
And, I don't know how long it should be....6.6, 7ft, 7.5...etc.
Any thoughts?
I am not concerned about price...I just want a nice quality rod.
I've owned Reddington, Sage, and Orvis....and like them all, but generally lean toward Sage.
Thanks
