Dave - just catching up with your fun article about one of my fave rivers.

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering what rod caused you to lose those 10 trouts? Or at least, what size and modulus?

On Chat tonight, RG makes the point that great (parking lot) casting rods often are not so hot for catching fish, that is to say, striking, playing and landing them.

Would you venture to say that trout ffishing is tougher than salties in this respect?
