I use a (no longer offered) 6.5 foot 3 weight or a Cabelas 7.5 foot 4 weight. I do more bow and arrow or wrist flips than traditional casting. More than half of my brookie fishing is dry with dropper or a single nymph. Lately the water I want always seems to be on the other side of the run. Beginning to think about a longer rod just for nymphing.

I bought a 7.5 weight three weight for small stream fishing a little over a year ago. As a relative newbie, it turned out I didn't like it very much - it was hard to cast, and hard to control line/fly. I ended up breaking it, and the replacement I bought was an 8.5 foot rod - like Andrew says above, and for the same reasons, I like the 8.5 better.Brian--On Sun, Mar 10, 2019 at 9:28 AM Yambag Nelson <northstreetwreckingcrew@gmail.com> wrote:I fish a 7 1/2 foot three weight. I've never felt like a shorter rod would be any better.
