Of course you know which weight you want for your next fly rod. Or do you?
I’m only questioning you because I’ve had to question myself. Sometimes we get stuck thinking about what the marketing, or our fishing buddy, or our biased presuppositions tell us we need in new gear.
While there are countless great articles out there that give some tips on buying your next fly rod, I wanted to come at the topic from a slightly different angle. The bottom line is that you don’t need a rod: you need the rod that does the job you want done.

I understand the premise that there are only a limited number of people who flyfish in the winter, but here in Southern California, small stream trout fishing is more like early fall conditions elsewhere: air temps in the upper 50s, water temps in the upper 40s – low 50s, low flows and rising trout. Your small stream advice is welcome here all year ’round.
Steve, my best days to fly out are Mondays and Tuesdays – send me some itineraries and I’ll let you know what works.
