Its a simple way to fly fish, I fish a 12 rod myself, at times its great, but I have in recent months dusted off an old 7' 6" Powell Rod for a 4wt- DT and a Furled leader, I can control the bigger browns that are in my home waters- for the smaller fish tenkara is a good way to enjoy a day on the stream, If anything we need rain, its been dry! and till a few days ago, rather cool, last couple of days been pretty hot for this summer, but the trout been taking 14 and 16 Letort Hoppers with out much trouble, caught a 17 inch brown yesterday evening that was dumped in the stream I like to fish as a fingerling some years back, not a mark on him! He was one of a 17 fish evening- Brookies and browns. Thin water, made for some interesting approaches and casts!
