9 ft. 5 wt, the workhorse, do-all rod. WF floating line. Nothing special here, though the same can't be said about the flies. After years of fishing down there, I've got a pretty good selection. The first few years were pretty lean...I saw a lot of big fish caught, learned a lot, but didn't really put it all together until 5 or 6 years ago. But I still get humbled, like I did this morning. Damn good time, and I'll take any excuse to go down there more frequently. The fishing is that good.

But 18"ers out of a crick is nothing to sneeze at......
