Hello all,

Been lurking awhile and I see there are a few legitimate anglers in the
crowd and a few with lot's of experience they're willing to share - so
I'll wade on in and ask for some advice.

The shortest rod I own is a 7' 2wt. It's ok for the tight quarters, small
creeks I fish, but I find it a little too short, even for tiny creeks. If
your looking for one, all around rod, i'd advise you to get the longer
rod....but who are we kidding here. You'll have a fleet or rods, in every
imaginable weight and length. Reels.......fergetaboutit. It sounds like
you're already, well on your way. :-)

Brian,

Spoken like a true fisherman...;-)

You obviously have fallen down that slippery slope yourself a time or two.
I've decided to keep both short rods - see post above - and with the 9' 6wt,
I'll have a good start on my collection.... We'll fill it in later when I
can find some more "justifications".

Thank you and a Happy New Year to you,

Bob S.
