I would like to buy a decent rod in the $200-$300 range and was hoping some
of you might offer me some advise on manufacturers. I live in the north-east
and mostly go for trout but have been lucky enough to have work ship me to
ireland for a few salmon runs on the river Lee in Cork. Any thoughts are
appreciated!

You're on the edge trying to use the same rod for both trout and Irish
salmon . A 9 foot, 6 weight rod is a bit heavy for trout (depends more
on the size of the fly than anything else), and a bit short for Irish
rivers, but you can, and I do use one for both.
