The best rod!
My favorite is a 2wt, here in the local ditches!
Great video and answer! Used a 9wt today on choke canyon! Made my life easier against the wind and on long stretches of shallow water. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Alvin? I live on the Nolichucky river here in Tennessee . Bigger smallmouth water, love that 7 and 8 wt. the 8wt handles it all.
I have fly rods from 4,5,6,7 & 8 wt rods. Caught my biggest trout on a 6. Biggest bass on the 8. But the 7 is the one I use the most. More fish and more variety of fish on it than any other.
I don鈥檛 really bass fish much but I really like the glass rods for saltwater – I think they鈥檙e pretty fun for any fish you can really bend the rod hard on. Get yo bassmaster on.
I thought you were going to say, "what ever fly rod you have!"馃ぃ I still think a 6wt is the best all around rod that allows people on a budget to buy 1 rod and fish it!!!!
Thanks 馃槈
I have a 4wt for trout, bluegill, crappie, & smaller bass. I have an 8wt for smallmouth & largemouth bass.
Best rod? the one in my hand of course.
This is exactly right. I have 6 wt and 8 wt rods for bass but a 7 wt would be ideal if you are just starting out. The only thing I would add is that it's nice to have a fighting butt even on a 6 wt for fighting and landing these wonderful fish.
Love your content! Started fly fishing two years ago and love the complexity. I鈥檓 just down the road from you in NB. I鈥檝e been using a 5 weight, but have lost good fish on it, (caught good fish on it too!) naturally I have an 8 weight being shipped as we speak. Any tips for gar on the fly? Keep up the good work!
Currently using a 7 wt. throwing deer hair poppers. My question is how to maximize my casting distance. I struggle maintaining a consistent loop which kills my distance and accuracy. Been loving the content thanks for sharing
Love the channel. My experience fishing summers here in Texas is fish are shallow early, go deep in the heat of the afternoon, and move back to the shallows in the evening. Am i wrong?
