so i went and visited Rodger down at Portneuf he suggested something like the St Croix Rio Santo rods there on the upper end of my price range but they felt nice.
I fish alot of small streams but i also spend lots of time on the Henry's fork because we have a cabin up there. i do some dry fly fishing but spend a large majority of my time throwing nymphs and some streamers. Im decided on the 5 wt for versatility but now im questioning length do i go with a shorty 7.6 or an 8, 8.6, or a 9ft rod?
what are the points that you all with more experience look for in your rods.
