Yea I figure if I am going to get a fly rod I need to go spey and learn how to cast that and I just dont have the time or money to get a decent set up. Its my dream but right now I cant swing it.
Yup, If I do end up in Montana I will be living in Billings in the summer and going to school in Bozeman the rest of the year. WONDERFUL fishing in Bozeman area but not really steel head country.
I was always told by a few people not to waste time on the Clearwater unless you have a boat. [:/]
Ive got a question for you guys, does the rod make or break the fishing? Do I need one sensitive enough to tell whats a take and what is my weight on a rock? I was sort of looking at a "Big Game Ugly Stik" or a rod like this

I figure they are heavy enough? should have enough sensativity? And if I did move they would still work great for big bass and maybe even small musky fishing? Im worried about having at least an OK rod but the reel is where Im in a tight spot. I cant afford the best and Ive ruined a few spinning reels just bass fishing.
