Well, I haven't been able to get out and test drive anything yet (finals season), but I found a guy who's selling some rods & reels here locally. I sent him an email and here's what he wrote me back:
Hi Justin, I have sevral rods that might be appropriate for British Columbia...what type of fishing will you be doing the most? Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, ? Let me know what you may need.. I have a 6wt. Sage DS 2 That I have fished maybe 6 times is all.. Looks brand new and basicaly is. I would need to get about $100.00 for. I also have a 9' 8weight Fenwick HMX. It is brand new and still has plastic on handle.. I would need about $90.00 for that rod. I have a couple 5 Weight Rods in Powell, Loomis or Lamiglass rods.. I think that I have a couple of reels.. One Brand New ,a Scientific Anglers System 11 with the nice disc brake systems.. It is for Line weights 5, 6, 7, and I have 3 brand new spools in box to go with. I will probably need to get $80.00 for the reel and $30.00 each for the Spools.. I have a Cortland Crown Fly Reel that I would sell for around $35.00. and others... Let me know which type of fishing you will be doing...
So I kinda have an idea of what he's talking about, but obviously don't have any experience with any of them. Any thoughts on these? I know I'm going to want something I can attack salmon, steelhead, and trout with, but I'll mainly be doing local lower-mainland fishing (closer to the cities) so I imagine I won't need anything too huge. Thoughts???
