Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Mountain Brookies Armory

Gents, thanks for the great insights.  You reminded me of how much trouble I had with a 5 foot ultralight spin rod and the improvement going to a 6 1/2 footer made.  I think I have settled on a path.  Appreciate it it all and hope to see you on the trail in a month or two!

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.
