Hey Dave, i use a 10ft 3wt on most streams, including this one. Since theres no real brush or impediments up aroudn the rod tip area i have no problems using it. It also allows me to get really nice drifts and control using the longer stick. I usually goto a 11ft on the bigger tailwaters like the tully. And sometimes ill drop down to something smaller like a 2-3wt 7-8ft on these smaller streams if theres brush impediments or the water is clear and low.
A fun trip. Great look brownies. What weight rod do you like on that size stream?
