What rod action/power do you prefer for various applications in respect to river fishing?

I think that you must determine what type of flies and how big the river is....for drys it is rumored that a softer action rod will allow for those delicate presentations....whereas a faster actioned rod will help toss those larger streamer and weighted nymph patterns....and faster rods will allow you to cope better with the wind....hth


mojo just read the mechanics of flyfishing by Powell.....again...the 5th time... ::)

Lou will turn things around with his game and the Canucks will make their way back to the top of their division... Canuck's have a great chance of going all the way this year... maybe you can save this post so I can say I told you so in a couple of months Smiley
