Aug 15, 2014 · Sacramento CA. Aug 19, 2014. #20. My 'gill set up is the same as my high mountain Sierras set up. Custom 7'6" 1wt full flex rod with Orvis Battenkill BBS reel with the RIO Trout LT DT line. Bluegills have small mouths and respond killer to small unweighted nymphs as well as small dries. An update to my original post and some more information. I fished the Dynamix 6 weight this weekend with a 250 grain sink tip line and it was a blast. We were hitting the banks with casts of 30-60 feet from a boat and it performed like a champ. You couldn't force the rod but with a nice relaxed stroke it easily got the job done.2004 -Xi2 -New Saltwater rod was first with new generation 5 (G5) Technology. 2005 -TXL -Near weightless for light lines. 2005 -Fli -Entry Level Fast Action taper with maximum power transfer. 2005 -Launch -Entry Level smoth progressive power curve and very high strength to weight ratio.South of the Catskills.

Welcome to the forum tiggbigms252 - Not sure what your budget may be, but for a glass creek rod I'd recommend the Epic 370 or 476. I fish the Epic 476 and love it.

Apr 19, 2023 · Apr 19, 2023. #1. I live in Florida (These days) but I want to go up to the Nantahala and camp along the river and fly fish by wading.
