[quote Troll]Build the quiver...not all rods do the same thing.
I have my 5 wt, 9' rods. My go to rods. I have them in fast and slow actions.
I have my 6 wt, 10' fast action that I throw streamers with.
I have a 4wt 10' for nymphing.
For small streams I have a 3 wt, 7'. The rod is not what misses fish...just sayin.[/quote]
Exactly right! My general rule is scale the rod weight and length to the size of the fish and water. I have a Fenwick Atos 7' 3wt that is perfect for small streams. With the light rod those 8" native trout feel like sea-run tuna!
