Friends:
Fresh back from a 2 week trip to Montana, Wyoming and Idaho that only included a little fishing (wifeo and I were helping move my daughter's family - Inc. Grandkids - into a new home) I have decided to assemble the "perfect" battery of fly rods to fish western rivers for trout and steelhead.
I used a 6 wt 9' at one point but it seemed a smidge heavy for the cutthroats on the upper Clearwater. So I'm open to suggestions on that. Yet if I go downriver to where the steelhead roam, I would think something with more beef would be in order.
Didn't fish the Missouri, although could have. That is bigger water.
Anyway, as a hobbyist roadbuilder I have lots of options, but want to do it right. Have a number of blanks sitting around for years waiting for the call....
So, pray tell, if I was to make, say, three rods to cover the waterfront. for trout in the Rockies, what should I focus on? (Big) Skies the limit!
Thanks in advance
