Any fly fishers here. what type of gear do you carry on your trips. Do you fish drys or wets. what length of rod do you carry?
My favorite general purpose outfit is a 9ft, 6wt Sage rod and a wide arbor Ross reel. I have a 8.5ft 5wt Sage and standard arbor Ross reel.
I tried a 4wt outfit awhile, but didn't stick with it.
I'm not picky, I fish wet and dry, work streamers, popped bugs. My favorite fishing are the big cutthroat and brown rivers in and around Yellowstone park in both WY and MT. A tight second is drift boat fishing and tail waters.
I did live in WI for 4 years and enjoyed flyfishing for smallmouth bass and northerns and did some trout fishing. I didn't have a drift boat there but my family trippster Wenonah Spirit II worked just fine. I also flyfished on the BWCA trips we took when we lived out there.
