Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Mountain Brookies Armory

You'd have to call to see if they have the specific model in stock, but Bass Pro / Cabelas carry TFO brand.

I don't think any of the above replies mentioned it, but one relatively inexpensive rod solution for brookies in the park, that is strong medicine, is a Tenkara rod. They are very long, which seems counterintuitive, but they collapse! So you can move from pool to pool, and through trees etc. easily as kind as you have a system to manage your line—I prefer winding it over 2 hook keepers on the handle piece. And as long as you are careful the extra length and small diameter of a furled Leader (I prefer) or "level-line" (long piece of of mono) with a light tippet makes it easy to get drag free drifts across swirling currents in plunge pools. Takes a little practice but if you have used a fly rod you'll figure it out in 10 minutes.

Now I've gone and done it, and mention both big stores and Tenkara in a post on a fly fishing forum. Lol I may be in timeout for a long time.

Good luck and tight lines
