[quote TroutMan93]All I fish is coldwater. When I'm in my tube or on my toon I take my ultalight spin rod, 2, 4, and 5wt rods with me. I do like the versatility but I think an 8wt for Uinta lakes is a bit overkill [
][/quote]
Yes an 8wt is overkill for the Unitas. When I first started fly fishing back in the 90's I stuck to cold water lakes and rivers as well. It has been just recently I have started to target the stronger/larger fish of the warm water habitats that prompted me to finally make the purchase. It is all in the style and way one wants to fish anyway that counts. [cool]. My son is just starting into fly fishing and he has one rod but doesn't use it on anything but trout at this time. When we go out I not only take fly rods but I carry baitcasters, spinning rods, and ultra lights depending upon the water. I can carry up to 9 rods on my toon right now if I wanted. This year I haven't taken as many but they do go. [
