Dan it's good to have a fly rod whatever you prefer as well as a spinner set up-- There are some nice places where you can find some open water to cast a fly over, but there are as many, probably more places you can pop a Panther Martin or something around some boulders and brush where it would be difficult with a fly. Lot's of small water and thick cover too. I don't prefer this OR that, I prefer this AND that.

BTW, there's gold in those hills too -- So if you feel lucky, bring a pan.

Too many people buy stuff they don't want, with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like!
