Interesting content, as always! Here is my big question; what lenght would you choose on a 7wt in my case? Here's the deal, 7wt is always sort of the second application on my fishing trips. I need a new 7wt for casting single handed spey lines for atlantic salmon, when I want to switch from my spey rod. Also as a second app for trout, when I put back my 9ft 4wt and goes streamer. I would also use the 7wt for light pike fishing and perhaps for some bonefish, when I'm on vacation. A true allrounder by all means!! What would you do in my situation?
Hi I'm looking into getting a euro nymph rod do they make any rods in the 6 or 7 foot range for small streams in the $200. Range. Would like your advice
So a typical euro build will be no shorter than 10’ or maybe 9’6” in super unique cases. However that doesn’t mean you can’t get a rod not designed for euro nymphing and use it like that. How small are your streams? If you don’t plan on casting dries at all, you’d be surprised how helpful a 10’ rod can be on super super skinny water. I’ve fished euro 2wts 10’6” long on water no wider than 3’ and it let me fish further from the spookier trout and catch loads. If it is truly a euro outfit, there are a bunch out there! Budget will be the biggest determining factor
Sorry! Just reread the comment. If you look into a few rods, consider an Outlaw Rod Co Wanted 10’ 3wt, maybe a Cortland Nymph 10’ or 10’ 6” 2 wt, a Snowbee USA 10’ 3wt. If you need links, I can share some
I'm shopping for a 5 weight rod, mostly pursuing stocked trout in a lake. I know I want a 4 piece for backpacking and air travel. How much casting distance will I lose between a 9 foot rod and a 8 and a half foot rod? My impression is that fly rods shorter than 8 feet are kind of a waste of time from the bank.
Lots of factors here to consider. Materials, taper, line, action but I would rather cast a rod that feels good, that might happen to be 8' than a rod I don't like just because it is 9'. I find that also, fishing streamers w/ a shorter rod is nice for.imparting action when not on an elevated position.
I'm trying to figure out what 2 handed rod for my first 2 hander. I'm getting killed on the Metolius with my single handed 7wts. I actually broke both of the 7wts I had. Now I'm looking for something with a warranty.
@@TwigNTimberFishingOutdoors I've been looking at the Echo SR switch. The only 2 hander I've cast is my buddies 11' 5wt moonshine switch. It's kinda clunky, so I want something a bit lighter. I really like my Echo 8' 4wt and Echo is fairly local and has a great warranty.
An 11' 4wt would be an ideal build for nymphing faster waters for bigger stronger fish. It has backbone and reach and from there, ir all comes down to the rod blank for tippet protection.
@@TwigNTimberFishingOutdoors I almost bought one today and then I came home and discovered last fall I bought a 10' 3 wt and put it in the, things for spring. lol. I have too many fly rods.
Makes perfect sense to me and your volume was much better in this video, but could be just a bit louder. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome ,and to the point information! As always ,I will always frequent your videos. Nice job yet again!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate your visits and comments! 🤙 Tight lines!
I wanna fish for long nose gar from a sitting kayak what line wt and rod length would you recommend?
What rod weight and length would you suggest when fishing for Small-Medium fish in Moderate to Heavy Cover?

If your pike fishing is stillwater and you use it for big sweeping casts, a 9.5wt might be a good pick.

I’m looking to get my first fly rod I’m in between a 8 or 10ft I’ll be fishing for trout off a boat what do u recommend
If you're fishing from a boat and can get close enough to the fish then it can vary. Are you fishing streamers or dries? Moving water or still water?

Zero. That's how much you will lose. Depends on the rod of course. But for this particular application go for 10' #5

Outlaw Rod Co has a few new 2 handers!
@@TwigNTimberFishingOutdoors I'll take a look!
@@jamesmccreery250 let me know. I may have slight discount codes too.
@@jamesmccreery250 you fish a 2 hander before? If not you could also look at switch rods also. More of a jack of all trades, master of none though

What would be the advantage of a 11' 4 wt or what would it be designed for? Thanks!

@@TwigNTimberFishingOutdoors Thank you.
@@ka0zoz ALSO some stillwater application would be favorable. Depends on the build
@@TwigNTimberFishingOutdoors I almost bought one today and then I came home and discovered last fall I bought a 10' 3 wt and put it in the, things for spring. lol. I have too many fly rods.
@@ka0zoz they'll accomplish similar things in the trout realm
