[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 717969, member: 66"] I'm using a 8'6" 6wt rod and it works really well (2-piece). My next will probably be a 9' 5wt. If you plan on packing it around a lot a 4-piece rod is the way to go, and a must if you're backpacking at all. Don't worry too much about flies. Get a basic variety pack to have some on hand. Call a local fly shop before you go on a trip and ask what the fish are hitting. That has always worked for me. Stop by the shop, talk with the people who live there and buy a bunch of the top 5 flies the fish are going after. Just a week or two can make a difference in their diet, thus making a current fly selection important. That's trout of course. Here in OK put just about anything on and the bass and panfish will go crazy. Much better than an old Zebco and plug. [/QUOTE]
