I agree, but MM would have to have at least a 3 weight rod and 6x. You'd never
land a big salmon or a monster brookie on a 0 (1) weight. If, by some
extraordinary chance that you did, the fish would probably not survive the long
fight. A minute a pound.

I have fished a 2 weight with light tippet and dries to catch rat fish (small
{8 - 10 inch}) salmon from Paul Goodwin's Kiddy Pool.
