If anyone is looking for a new small stream rod id like to offer a bit of advise.
First off i fish tiny wild trout streams avidly and ive been doing it for a long time. That being said, today I decided to mix it up and try a 6'6" 3wt, seems appropriate right? I conclude that is not the case.
A 6'6" is compact and that can be useful. But they do not offer adequate reach. Yea you can catch fish with them but a better rod for the job is a 7'6" or even 8' 3 or 4wt. You Czech nymph guys you know what I mean, a foot and a half makes a difference in your game.
What it comes down to is getting the fly to the fish while staying as far from the fish as possible. And face it you arent gonna be casting.
So next time you are on the market for a new brookie rod, think about maybe trying something a little bigger even though trees will be everywhere.
