Lastly, few things are more personal than your cast. Maybe a bamboo or fiberglass noodle would be best. Or maybe a stiff fast graphite. Something in between might be right.
Then it depends on where and how you primarily fish. If Bow is your usual stomping grounds and you tend to nymph, well thats a different set of parameters than presenting tiny dries on Raven or Dogpound.

Good points there. I’m sure I will find a good stick. I fly fish mostly small streams and rivers around rocky and Nordegg. I also know many lakes and streams in the okanagan area. So most of my trout are small so a 5 or 6 wt is all I need. Thanks for everyone’s input. Great info
