I am new to a 3WT but I got me a 3wt bitch creek rod/reel combo. nice rod/reel combo for 120 some on ebay! you get backing and line and even I got a free leader thrown in. lifetime on the rod and also a free quick loop attachment thing that I was recommended against using. some liked some didn't. anyways enough about the combo.... whats some good flies and sizes of flies to use on this 3wt? I am using it for mainly gills and chubs and smaller bass that take a top bug. this is the lake erie tribs so no trout around to catch except huge steel. got my 8wt for those. any good patterns? gonna mainly use it in summer so terrestrials are good. was thinking small foam ants and spiders and beetles then some smaller dries then some smaller nymphs?
