One Rod

[Russell Durtschi]

For twenty years I essentially fished with one rod. My first rod that I
got in 1972 was as a glass Fenwick 8.5 ft 6wt. I used that until I built
a Sage 8.5 ft 6wt in 1988. Then, last year I popped into ROFF and
learned that it's okay to have more rods. So I bought a KPOS 3wt and
5wt. Soon discovered that the 3wt is much more suitable for the fishing
that I do (at least when I get to go) ninty percent of the time.

In an earlier thread, Forty stated that if he could only have one rod he
would quit fishing and take up birdwatching. This is a concept that I am
just beginning to grasp. So here is the question: If you really could
only have one rod, what rod would it be and why?

I'm thinkin' that maybe I don't own my only rod yet.

That'd be a heck of a constraint for some of us - especially those that do the
fresh and sal****er things, in creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes and the ocean.

But if I could only fish one rod, it'd be a Winston IM6 2 piece 9/5.
Too sweet to leave at home...

Sage SP 490-3

or maybe my Ted Knott cane,

then there's the Daiwa 8' five piece 4/5 wt.

or maybe the Winston 7'6" 5 wt.

but how could I forget my DB 2/3wt.

of course I could use the Scott 10' 7 wt.

but in rhodo country I'd better use the little glass Hardy

then I could end up in a boat and might need the Vector 9 wt. or maybe
the DB 10 wt.

and if fly swinging is needed then I'd best get out the Daiwa 13'6" 9
wt. spey

unless it was on trout water, then I'd need the 10'6" East Branch 4
wt.

speaking of which, I shouldn't neglect the little EB 6 wt. for
streamers -- or it's DB VSR stablemate


See -- I only ever fish with one rod!!!!

Sage SP 5wt 5-piece. I use it at least 95% of the time. Every other rod
I own is a specialty rod.

I feel that if a golfer can have 14 clubs then I should have 14 fly rods.

8 foot 6 weight.,,It could cover the range of Steelhead to Panfish. Any
good rod would do.

Hell I can't make up my mind even in 3 weight rods. Would it be the little
Fisher 6 foot 9 inch 3 piece
Sage 6 foot 9 inch 2 piece
Fisher 7 foot 6 inch 2 piece
Loomis IMX 7 foot 6 inch 2 piece
Scott 8 foot 8 ince 3 piece G series
Scott 9 foot 2 piece G series
St. Croix 9 foot 2 piece legend ultra.

I still need to get a Temple Fork 8 foot 6 ince 4 piece rod and put a very cool
reel seat on it.

Wonder if I have forgot any others.

Hi Russell,

I think it depends on what kinds of fly fishing each person does or likes to
do mostly.

One rod = #7 - that is a tough one

Two rods = #5 & #9

Three rods = #5, #7 & #9 or #4, #8 & #10

Four rods = #4, #6, #8 & #10 - this would be perfect for me.

One rod? One I have - an Orvis Small Stream Special - 7 ft., 5 wt.
Why? It's quick, powerful and will drive flies into difficult places
on the mountain streams I most often fish better than any other rod I
have seen. And I can use it effectively on the larger waters I fish
less often.

If allowed two rods then it would include the Sage SP+ 9 ft. 4 wt. It
is also an extremely fast rod I use on rivers and it allows me very
long casts with just a flip of the wrist. I will never use its full
casting capabilities but it does give me that option as I become less
able to do difficult wading and I like the way it handles the shorter
casts.

As proof of how many folks agree with the wisdom of my selections,
neither of these rods are any longer made.

I'd suggest you determine *exactly* what sort of rod you need to fish
your intended waters....... then buy any and all the rods you can
afford.

lovely rod, I use mine a lot including on "big waters" like the Madison ...
I just pretend they are small streams and fish them accordingly

one of the best outdoorsmen I've ever met told me, " If you find something
( outdoors equipment) that you really like, buy a lifetime supply ... they
always stop making the best stuff."

9'4wt thomas&thomas. it fits my casting pace, i can do most of my
freshwater fishing with it, and it is one pretty bitch.

My first rod is still my #1 rod, an 8' 4/5wt that I have
satisfactorily fished with both line weights.

In order to cover the broadest possible spectrum, I think that I'd
want an 8'6" 3pc 6wt. OK for airline travel, light enough for Trout,
big enough for Salmon. Can I have extra reels/spools?
Over/under-lining could be handy at times.

Birdwatching. Hell, I'd rather fish exclusively for catfish & carp
with pre-packaged bait, a Spongebob Squarepants kiddie combo and
nothing to drink but lukewarm Budweiser. <G>

I wouldn't necessarily call a 6wt big enough for Salmon. I think that's
too little rod. I wouldn't go below a 7 myself, and way prefer an 8.

If the question is which one of my present rods I'd keep above all the rest,
it would be my 8' Sage RPL 3 wt. I love smaller streams & it's a joy to
use in those places.

OTOH, if the question were if I sold all of my rods to buy just one, I'd be
in line right behind wayno.

I'd agree with you and Ernie that a 6wt is the best one-rod rod for
freshwater fishing, for everything from panfish and trout up to
steelhead (I've landed many Deschutes steelhead--even hot ones--on a 9ft
6wt VPS). You could even stretch it for the lightest of sal****er
fishing (redfish, speckled trout, etc), but I think for most salmon and
most sal****er fishing, you're already out of the one-rod realm.

Preferences, schmeferences. I wouldn't consider my imaginary 6wt *or*
your 'preferred' 7/8wt light enough for most of my trout fishing.
Nonetheless, if I absolutely *had* to choose just one rod for all of
my fly fishing needs for the rest of eternity, I'd still choose the
6wt. Different strokes, I guess.

FWIW, I have caught both Silver & King Salmon on my 4/5wt using 5wt
line & level mono leader. Was it too light? Probably. Did it work?
Like a champ. My present Salmon rod? 9' 4pc 8wt. It appears that
our disagreement is imaginary and our agreement real. ;-)

No, this is a real disagreement if you are a) targeting Silvers and Kings
with your 4/5 weight, and b) if you are fishing catch and release. If
you hook a salmon when fishing for trout, you often can't help that, and
if you're keeping your catch, it really doesn't make any difference. If
you're targeting 12 pound salmon on a 4/5 and intend to release them, you
really should use enough rod to minimize the fight. The six weight might
be OK, the 4/5 is way too little rod.

If someone intends to fish for small stream trout and salmon, I don't
think there's a good way to do it with one rod, unless you're a catch and
kill angler.

i have one rod that has any meaning for me. the others are just a fool's
tools, and things i am happy to have and use, but could suffer the loss
of without any true or lasting regret. the one rod was an honest and
selfless quiet gift... unexpected, unearned, and undeserved... and sent
to me without expectation of anything in return. it's a 6 foot (or
thereabouts) 4 weight "hamilton" bamboo (more properly called a zimboo),
and more beautiful and pure than art itsownself. if i was limited in
this life to only one rod, i'd choose it over all the others and happily
suffer the strong western winds of the rockies or anyplace else... well,
because in the end fellers, there's just gotta be more to this rodeo
than a pretty horse and the cowboy using her.

OK. Real disagreement time. With regard to the Silvers, I was
A)targeting them and B)killing them. With regard to the lone King I
caught on my 5wt I was A)not targeting them and B)not concerned with
the Salmon's welfare as it was already spawned out. All of this was
in Alaska, where C&R for Salmon is strongly discouraged.

Now, imaginary agreement time. This is one of those philosophical
questions which has no distinctly 'correct' answer. If the question
was one of "If you had to pick one beer, car, hammer, screwdriver,
gun, hairdo or TV show", I am certain that we could all argue
vehemently that a straight-claw framing hammer was 1000% better than a
bent-claw trim hammer (or vice-versa). FYI, the *correct* answers
are: PBR, '74 Dodge Dart, 20oz Straight Claw Smooth Face Estwing,
Multi-tip, bolt-action 30-06, crew cut and The Brady Bunch. <G>

in for a penny . . .

beer - tastes change regularly but I've been partial to Kilkenny
lately.

car - 1964 E-Type Jag in BRG of course

hammer - my new, shiny, Estwing, 20 oz, milled face, framing hammer

screwdriver - any bit that fits in my Ryobi

gun - Russell and I have the same tastes, mine's the International
model with the mannlicher stock - most accurate thing I've ever fired

hairdo - the one I had when I was 22 (wouldn't have it now though)

TV show - Gunsmoke as a kid, M.A.S.H. as an adult

-----------------------------------------------
not much disagreement so far

Must admit I gave a hard look at Hawaii before choosing. That is a great
flag and the Union Jack in all of its permutations is striking in visual
impact and appeal. But the simplicity and statement of the constellation
and Polaris on Alaska's flag speak to me as well. Always wanted to travel
there. Have yet to do so except for a stop over enroute back from Vietnam.

Modigliani? Certainly more ordered than Pollack but doesn't have that much
new to say to me. His work is tolerable though and often pleasing to my
eye.

Are you saying they've made music *after* 1985?

What can I say? I was young, single, and had a decent paycheck - much of which
went to buying the LPs. I musta hit a dry spell in 1985 and it has been uphill
ever since.

Yep, that's him. I didn't know the expression 'mealymouth' but I suppose
he's a prime example.

You're not done yet. Now you need to go to CDDB http://www.gracenote.com/
and include album art, song running times, composer and artist information.
This coming from a guy with a collection of 5000+ vinyl and 1000+ CD (500
plus laser discs and uncounted tapes, VHS and beta, reel to reel and other
such trivial pieces of our broadcast legacy). I was happy just to get my
stuff in alphabetical order on the shelves!

Is that the guy on PBS with the Brillo-Pad hairdo ? I can't stand
that guy, nothin' worse than a mealymouth.

Well Ken, not to worry, ol' Brillo Pad crapped out some time ago (musta been
the paint fumes) and he lives in a happy little graveyard someplace. Of
course, they're going to re-run his show for another 10 yrs at least. :)

Now that is OC software. I thought I was bad with a copy of Wintaper on my
computer and 1000+ hours of live Dead on tape.
