best fly rod for smaller fish

[riverdog]

I love my Sage Launch 4 peice 7' 6'' 3 wt (with battenkill reel) for that type of fishing. It does have the backbone to handle 25 inch trout in fast water not just stillwater. Helios cost 3 or 4 times as much and just isn't as critical for smaller streams. I did just break down and get the Helios 9ft 6 wt midflex since it was on sale but that is for places like the Green and Snake river in WY, and Salmon and Stealhead fishing in Alaska. I used it last week up in Seedskadee and it was a dream casting but the catching was fairly slow.
