Not trying to convert you, but if you're thorwing a 3wt line, why not a 3wt rod?
BTW, I've fished brookies (Natives, where I come from) all my life. They're not particulary hard to fool in my experience, but do require stealth.
True. Not the smartest trout but one over 12" inches requires some stealth when presenting the fly. I love catching brookies. Nothing better than a brookie fried in butter for breakfast. I only keep 1 out of 20 or so to eat. Great little fish
