What weight fly rod is best for fishing Brook trout in small streams?
There are a few places nearby which offer some brookie fishing but I think that my 9 foot 5 weight is a little too big for the small trout. I was thinking along the lines of a small 3 weight. What do you think?
Thank you
You may be correct about downsizing the length but , (in my opinion), a 4-5 weight would be perfect.
Why?
In those "small streams" can be BIG Trout. (When I say "big" I mean 3-4LB). Small streams "weave and divert" terribly making it important to quickly subdue your quarry.
I have a 7' 6" 4-5 weight that works perfectly for the Brookies I chase. The stream averages about 8-12 FT across and has heavy overgrowth on the banks during the fishing season. I KNOW for a fact there are bigger Trout in this stream; I've seen them...........
Hope this helps?
