Hi there,

I am rigging up a trout outfit, in pieces, but it is almost together. I have a 7' 6" St. Croix imperial rod in 4 weight, a #6 Tioga and now need a line. Does anyone have this rod? and what kind of line would match it nicely? Any particular color matter? I don't want to spend a fortune since I will only be using it 2-4 times a year but I would like something that casts trout flies in the 16-12 size range nicely. The reason I am asking is that my other rod is an 8 weight and I am used to chucking Atlantic salmon flies in the 10 to 2/0 size range. I use Cortland 444 in peach color and maxima leader for this and it works well.

Thanks in advance,

Dwight
