St.Croix Imperial 5wt (8.5') 4 peices -- it's handy to have a four piece.
But I just bought a Echo 2hand Solo 360-510grains (12.5'), and I know I'm going to love it!

Sage XP 969-4 Nymping rod for the Bow/Atlantic Salmon Rod.
Sage Z-Axis 590 everything else
Loop Black 14'0 9wt - Big salmon water rod, sees the odd trip to the Bow in the winter when its shelved up bad.

My 5 wt 6 1/2 ft Joan Wolff favorite from Winston for streams and my 9 1/2 ft 5 wt Ammundson stillwater series for the pontoon boat

It was an 8' 3 wt custom (6 piece) Dan Craft Five Rivers FTLight fished with a 4 wt line! Perfect for the Crow, Oldman and high mtn lakes!! Only one problem, my wife casts it like a dream and it's now her favorite small steam rod!! LoL

Gotta be the G&L Flycraft 8'6" 3wt North Raven Series. Unbelievably nice rod to fish.

Warning this is Scott heavy..............

Scott G2 906/4 .... spiggot ferurules... trout
Scott STS 904/4 (90's model) spiggot ferrules.... trout
Scott A3 908/4 (they have replaced this with A4 model)....atlantic salmon


Also have a Scott SVS 908/3 as a back-up/loaner...Atlantic salmon but will be using for pike

The SVS was a much under rated rod. I did a blind test with a friend of mine with him trying the SVS, a Sage RPL+ and a Loomis IMX. He preferred the much cheaper SVS, I chose the IMX, but it was close between that and the SVS.

My Sage RPL 9ft 5wt is my all time favorite and the only rod I'll use for dry flies. My 10ft Amundson Wind Warrior Stillwater 5wt for fishing chronies on stillwaters and for chuck & duck Bow River fishing (although I am getting the cork changed out before spring, it's the only negative feed back I have against the rod, it casts like a canon).
