Sitka,
I thought about a 2 wt, but I just don't think it'll have the backbone I want for the way I fish.
I throw probably 90+ percent nymphs and a ton of those are weighted.
I tend to abuse my rods, asking them to do things they're not designed for.
I want a 3 wt to add to the bag, along with my previously mentioned 5 wt and the 7 wt that I use on steelhead.
That 7 see's almost all it's use pulling flies or plugs from the DB.
I'm not a fan of long rods (over 8'ish)simply because I fish from the boat most of the time or it's a small stream.....
Maybe when I retire in a couple of years, I'll try conventional fly fishing for our half pounders on the Rogue.
