I just got back from PA small stream fishing where I primarily used a 13ft tenkara rod and a 5wt setup for single hand skagit on bigger water. I find that The casting methodology and simplicity of tenkara is easier with no casting room, and the 13ft rod is excellent for euro nymphing techniques. I managed to catch more and bigger fish than anyone else in my group, but that is more luck and I have more experience than the other two with me. I grabbed a beautiful 17in bow (on spruce creek near the rod and gun club) a 15in brown and lots of smaller fish.
I will also say when bushwhacking into really small water my little 6ft tenkara rod packs super small and is easier to manage without getting caught in everything.
I also have a 6ft 2wt CGR I used to fish rock creek when i lived in rockville, super fun rod, I actually spent yesterday making a 10ft skagit shooting head for it out of old wf7wt line, should be interesting
