Sorry, I guess I should know to be more specific around here but yes I meant for trout.
I was just pondering the possibilities of using longer rods. Sage makes an 11' 6wt and several companies are coming out with "trout" weight two handed rods. I've seen guys do Spey casting demos that were quite impressive but I wonder how a long rod would work with the cast and retrieve routine using sinking lines. I think they would be good for throwing a lot of line but working it back out after stripping it all in might be a little cumbersome. I'd also like a 10' 5wt for nymphing and a 10' 7wt for Alaska but that's a topic for another board.
As for fly patterens I'm working on taking pics of some of the flies I've been tying. I'll post it when I can but right now the computer with the photo software on it isn't working well.
