What rod do you fish trout with?
I fish over 75 days a year for trout and do it all with two rods, a Walton Powell 9′ 4/5 vintage 1989 and a Greys Streamflex Plus 9’6″ 3 wt that I bought three years back. I never thought I’d like a rod as much as the Powell I’ve used for so many years but the Greys Streamflex Plus is awesome.
